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 a museum career and 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 the gallery's 30 volunteers. The Monticello Intern also
assists with other museum education programs including school groups, monthly
gallery 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; ability to use a personal computer for
word
processing. Teaching experience or Master's degree a plus. Flexibility,
maturity, caring personality, and an enthusiasm for working with volunteers -
especially retirees - are very important.

The internship runs September 1, 2002 through June 30, 2003 with some
flexibility in starting and ending dates. Monthly stipend of $1,274 plus a
benefits package including fully paid medical and life insurance, holidays,
vacation, personal business days, and sick time.

To apply: send cover letter, resume, transcripts (photocopies are acceptable),
and contact information for three references (letters are not required) to:

Beth Shea, Education Chair
Illinois State Museum
