The Jewish Museum of Maryland is offering paid and unpaid graduate and/or undergraduate Collections, Exhibitions, and Archival internships for Spring and/or Summer 2008.

 

JMM interns work closely with museum professionals on varied collections and exhibitions projects to gain insight into the workings of the museums. Tasks include, but are not limited to: exhibition and collection research, processing archival collections, object photography, cataloging collections, data entry, digitizing photographic collections, gallery preparation, and artifact handling.

 

Candidates must be able to handle objects with extreme care, write neatly, work with detailed numbering systems, keep accurate and clear records, and handle moderately heavy objects.  Interested students should be working toward a degree in history, art history, material culture, Jewish studies, museum studies, or archival science. Previous museum or gallery experience is not required.

 

Please send a cover letter, resume, and list of three references to Ms. Jobi Zink, Sr. Collections Manger, Jewish Museum of Maryland, 15 Lloyd Street, Baltimore MD 21202 or to [log in to unmask]. Candidates interested in a spring internship should submit their applications immediately; applications for summer internships should be received no later than March 14, 2008.
