<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am Genevieve (Genna) Anderegg, Assistant Collections Manager of Invertebrates at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. I am emailing you all today to wonder if you could pass off this internship opportunity we currently have in our
entomology collection to current and former students interested in museum collections and entomology. The application is due
<b>this Friday</b>, so it would be great if you could forward this on to anyone who you think would be interested! Details below.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cheers,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Entomology Collections Internship<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Start date: The ideal start date is July 2024<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Duration: 240 – 400 total hours, approximately 6 to 10 weeks<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Schedule: 35 hours per week, Monday – Friday <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Stipend: $4,389 per to $7,316 total stipend, depending on the agreed-upon total internship hours<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Number of positions: 1 position <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Denver Museum of Nature & Science maintains a research collection of approximately 1.3 million animal specimens and specimen lots in the Zoology Collections. The Zoology collections are comprised of both vertebrate and invertebrate
species, providing a taxonomically diverse and scientifically valuable resource for research and education. Major taxonomic groups represented include arachnids, insects, mollusks, mammals and birds. The Integrative Collection Branch (ICB) oversees the preservation,
maintenance and access to these collections, ensuring their long-term viability and usefulness. The Entomology Collections Interns will work in the ICB to improve the preservation and storage conditions of Zoology’s Entomology specimens.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This position will assist in the initial stages of a major reorganization project for the entomology collection. The main objectives of this project are to re-distribute available growth space into taxonomic areas with expected/predicted
growth, and to adjust current organizational schemas to correspond to current understandings of phylogenetic relationships. This internship will conduct some of the preliminary movements to redistribute growth space allowing for subsequent reorganization.
They will participate in assessing potential taxonomic organizational schema for various insect groups and will be trained most of the general entomology collections activities (pinning, cataloging, identifying, incorporating).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Applicants from groups traditionally underrepresented in the Life Sciences are encouraged to apply.<o:p></o:p></p>
