The School for Advanced Research, Indian Arts Research Center (IARC)
in Santa Fe, New Mexico offers two nine-month internships (September
1–May 31) to individuals who are recent college graduates, current
graduate students, or junior museum professionals interested in
furthering their professional museum experience and enhancing their
intellectual capacity for contributing to the expanding field and
discourse of museum studies. The internships include a $2,200 monthly
stipend, housing, book allowance, travel to one professional
conference, and reimbursable travel to and from SAR. One internship is
open to an indigenous individual from the U.S. or Canada, and one
internship is open to any U.S. or Canadian citizen meeting the
application requirements.



Established in 1978, the IARC houses a collection of more than 12,000
items of Native art of the Southwest. The collection includes pottery,
jewelry, textiles, works on paper and canvas, basketry, wood carvings,
and drums. IARC supports research and scholarship in Native studies,
art history, and creative expression. IARC accomplishes this by
providing opportunities for artists to engage in uninterrupted
creativity through artist fellowships; fostering dialogue among
artists, researchers, scholars, and community members through special
seminars and programs; nurturing future arts and museums professionals
through experiential training; and promoting study and exploration of
the IARC collection of Native arts.



The interns will devote their time to working on IARC educational
programming, research and writing activities, and collections
management and registration. Other requirements include presenting a
research paper at the SAR Colloquium Series; attending a professional
conference; assisting with IARC seminars, symposia, and collection
tours; and working on outreach initiatives to local Native
communities. Interns will also participate in interviews, photo
sessions, video recordings, and exit interviews to document their
experience. During the internships, the Anne Ray Resident Scholar
provides mentorship and academic support to the interns.



Applications must be received by March 1, 2012.  For additional
