[Nhcoll-l] Paid Summer Internships at the Museum of Northern Arizona

[Editor | FourCats Press]

It's worth emphasizing, though, that this position - like almost all the
other summer internships of its kind, including the large number offered by
the NPS- is limited to current students or recent graduates. 

 

Given the realities of today's working world, it strikes me as a serious
deficiency in imagination that people who may be years out of school but
have relevant experience and who are perhaps career-shifting, cannot even be
considered for these positions.

Arizona

 

Please let interested students know about paid collection internship
opportunities with anthropology, paleontology, or botany collections at the
Museum of Northern Arizona (MNA).

 

Candidates will gain professional museum experience in registration and
collections management while working in a region surrounded by remarkable
landscapes and Native American cultures. Accredited by AAM, MNA 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 two multidisciplinary and one botany oriented internships are posted on
MNA's website at https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__musnaz.org_about_careers_&d=DwICAg&c=cjytLXgP8ixuoHflwc-poQ&r=LpYc_Z_iN1KRw0hheb3x6-8MJUMu482qfHowpGYJqwc&m=Vf4KmkYcS3uALX2QyOPBuVsyT0puhFb10XyBO7b-3fA&s=5urwbqHTVNpxQkeIGTKWS8DlsCPWrn1YkrJyNjNlxFo&e=
