GRADUATE MUSEUM INTERNSHIP

SUMMER 2014

 

The Milwaukee Public Museum is offering a summer internship for graduate Museum Studies students.  This internship, sponsored by the Betty L. and M. Kenneth Starr Internship Fund, offers a stipend of $2000 for assistance in travel and living expenses.

 

Candidates must be enrolled in a masters or Ph. D. program in Museum Studies. (Students enrolled in an advanced program with an emphasis or certificate in Museum Studies or Historical Administration do not qualify for this award.)  

 

A variety of internship opportunities exist in areas such as Anthropology, Education, Exhibition, Geology, History, Registration, and Zoology.  All internships, however, depend on availability and some require previous experience and/or classes. The award recipient is also required to perform at least 150 hours of internship work.

 

Applications should consist of a cover letter, a resume or cv, and two letters of recommendation.  Selection of the award recipient will be based on availability of a compatible internship and the applicant’s present abilities and potential.

 

•             Application deadline is Friday, February 21, 2014
