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 career in 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 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 ability to use a
personal computer. Teaching experience or Master's degree a plus.
Flexibility, maturity, caring personality, and enthusiasm for working
with children and volunteers - especially retirees - are very important.
The internship will run from September 1, 2009 to August 31, 2010. There
is some flexibility in start and end dates. Monthly stipend of $1,565
plus benefits package including fully-paid medical and life insurance,
holidays, vacation, personal business days, and sick time.
