The Division of Paleontology at the American Museum of Natural History is
offering a small number of full-time, 8-week internships for graduate or
undergraduate students in paleontology, life sciences, museum studies, or
related fields (June 29 start). The interns will participate in an
NSF-funded project to upgrade the fossil mammal collections at AMNH.

The interns will work with collection management, preparation, and
conservation staff to carry out collection inventories; construct archival
quality housings for specimens and associated labels; georeference specimen
localities; and upgrade on-line collections data.

A stipend will be provided as support over the internship period.
