Museum Collections Internship

On-site scheduling can be arranged around the intern’s schedule.  Collections Interns are typically on-site a minimum of two days a week, around four hours each day.  We require a minimum of 120 hours to complete an internship. Please note that in order to receive credit as a GSC intern, you must complete that number of hours regardless of any school or program requirements which may be less than that.

• Martha Regester – VP of Education
• Jessica Gouge – Education Events & Collections Manager

• Interns must be able to work in a team environment as well as independently.
• Interns must be interested in a career path in a museum collections setting – archivist, registrar, curator, etc.
• Interns must want to learn more about how a non-living collection is managed in a small to medium sized facility – particularly one that also houses a living collection.
• Interns must have a college-level background (or are working on one) in museum studies, public history, history, anthropology, or other related programs. Preference is given to students currently enrolled in school. 
• Interns must be reliable and can commit to at least 120 hours with us.
• Interns must complete all paperwork and pass a background check.

To apply, please complete the application (you will need a resume, cover letter, and list of the names and contact information of three people who can provide professional references for you) by the application deadline for consideration.

Incomplete applications will not be considered. You will receive a bounce-back email to confirm receipt of your application materials. No phone calls, please. Should you have any questions, please send them to internships@greensboroscience.org. Due to the large number of applications we typically receive, only selected applicants will be contacted for interviews. We are unable to contact all applicants directly.

Internship opportunities are unpaid and housing opportunities are unavailable. Completion of an internship at the GSC does not come with the promise of future part-time or full-time employment.
