Explore Museum Education - Paid Education Internship at the Illinois 
State Museum

The Monticello College Foundation Internship in Museum Education 
provides a challenging opportunity to work closely with museum 
educators, exhibits staff, and curators in a museum of natural history, 
anthropology, and art. The program is designed for candidates who wish 
to explore the field of museum education. The Monticello Intern helps 
coordinate the day-to-day operations of "A Place for Discovery," a 
hands-on children's gallery, including its 45 volunteers. The Monticello 
Intern also assists with other museum education programs including 
school groups, monthly children's programs, and special events.

Requirements: a Bachelor's degree in education, anthropology, natural 
science, museum studies, history or art; career interest in museum 
education; experience working with the public; and the ability to use a 
personal computer. Teaching experience or Master's degree a plus. Good 
organizational skills, flexibility, maturity, caring personality, and 
enthusiasm for working with volunteers - especially retirees - are very 
important.

The internship runs from September 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006 with 
some flexibility in start and end dates. Monthly stipend of $1391 plus 
benefits package including fully-paid medical and life insurance, 
holidays, vacation, personal business days and sick time.
