[Nhcoll-l] Conservation Pre-program internships at Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History

[Mariana Di Giacomo]

Dear colleagues,

I am pleased to announce two one-year pre-program conservation internships
at the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History.

The Yale Peabody Museum is currently undergoing a large renovation of
gallery and collection spaces. Throughout this process, conservation work
has been essential to plan and execute the goals of the renovation, from
tasks related to the preventive care of specimens remaining in place, to
deinstallation, treatment, and future installation of galleries. The
priorities for Conservation at this stage are treatment and installation of
specimens and objects in galleries, while continuing to work
collaboratively in the care and preservation of the museum’s collections.

The purpose of this post is to provide a graduate of a bachelor’s degree
program (or equivalent) the opportunity to work in conservation of natural
history collections to further their education by broadening their
experience and skills. Under the direction and guidance of the Peabody
Conservator, the intern will assist in preventive conservation and
conservation treatment tasks at the Yale Peabody Museum both in the Peabody
complex and West Campus locations. These tasks may include written and
photographic documentation of objects and specimens, preventive
conservation duties, treatment of objects and specimens, as well as
research associated with the specimens or objects to care for. The intern
will benefit from learning about caring for collections and specific
treatment techniques and will be able to include the work performed in
applications to graduate programs in conservation

Please find the responsibilities, duties, and any other details (including
the link to apply) at either of these links:
