[Nhcoll-l] Museum volunteer/intership program with residence

[Bentley, Andrew Charles]

Hi Ben

Not sure about room and board but I would highly recommend that you check out the MUSE program at the University of Kansas - https://museumstudies.ku.edu/.  I teach the natural history class for the course and there are ample opportunities to intern in the BI collections.

Happy to chat if you need more details.

Greetings,

My name is Benjamin Ehrman. I earned my masters degree in biology (specialization in evolutionary biology) last year and have a BA (summa cum Laude) in environmental science (specialization in ecology). During my MSc. program, I updated the specimens catalog for the Royal Saskatchewan Museum of Natural History based on the results of my review of the Swift Current Creek locality’s faunal list.

I have an interest in pursuing a career in museum collections management, curation, or as a technician. I was wondering if anyone knew of museum training programs, volunteerships, or internships that offer room and board?

Regards,
Ben
