Description:
Graduate Curatorial Internships at the National Gallery of Art provide in-depth training for advanced PhD students and recent PhD recipients interested in gaining curatorial experience in a museum setting. Previous museum experience is not required. Interns work with curators on permanent collection and exhibition projects and attend a weekly museum seminar that introduces the staff, departments, programs, and functions of the Gallery. The duties and responsibilities are comparable to those of curatorial assistants. Graduate Curatorial Interns are in residence at the Gallery from September 19, 2011, to May 18, 2012, and work full time. Interns receive a stipend of approximately $30,000 that is subject to all applicable taxes.
Requirements:
Eligibility is limited to PhD students who are in the advanced stages of their dissertations and to recent PhD recipients (dissertations must have been filed no earlier than September 2009). Applicants from all backgrounds are encouraged to apply. This is an international program.
Application Instructions:
Applications must be received by 6 January 2011. Additional information and application procedures are available at http://www.nga.gov/education/interned.htm, by email: intern@nga.gov, or by calling (202) 842-6257. |
