[Nhcoll-l] Three paid summer internships

[Janet Gillette]

Please let interested students know about collection internship opportunities (anthropology, archives, botany, and paleontology) at the Museum of Northern Arizona (MNA).

Candidates will gain professional museum experience while working in a region surrounded by remarkable landscapes and Native American cultures. Accredited by AAM, the Museum of Northern Arizona is located in Flagstaff, AZ - a mountain town with lovely summer weather, numerous hiking trails, and close proximity to the Grand Canyon and Petrified Forest National Parks, Sunset Crater, Wupatki and Walnut Canyon National Monuments, the Painted Desert and Red Rock Country. Flagstaff is home to Lowell Observatory (where Pluto was first discovered) and a gorgeous Arboretum. Summer Internships coincide with MNA's internationally recognized Native American Heritage Festivals which introduce visitors to the culture and artistry of the Navajo, Hopi, and Zuni peoples.

The three, multidisciplinary, collection internships are posted on MNA's website at https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__musnaz.org_about_careers_&d=CwIFAg&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=xQvjBMLOU6ANsLe9dJnJUKWD8CJSuxc1NTkpoxJGWpU&s=uJCXJL2DvO8EjM1RF7yhSX0XkQQlylDD-HHMfqOCT8A&e= .  Housing and a $12 per hour salary (34 hours per week) are provided for a minimum of 10 weeks between May 1st and September 30th 2016.

To apply, email a cover letter, resume and 3 letters of recommendation as either MS Word or PDF to JThomas at musnaz.org<mailto:JThomas at musnaz.org>. Application review begins March 31, 2017, so get your application in early.

The Museum of Northern Arizona is an Equal Opportunity Employer - Open until filled.

Thank you,
