Summer Internships
Click here for position and application details. Deadline to apply is March 19, 2023.
The Roswell Museum, a department of the City of Roswell, offers two summer internships for individuals who are presently in or recently graduated from a Bachelor or Graduate program in museum studies or a related field. The internships offer an opportunity to work in one of the principal public museums in New Mexico and are intended for those who wish to gain professional experience in the museum field. Interns will gain knowledge of the museum, including operations and culture and receive mentorship from full-time staff, hands-on project experience, and feedback. The internship program is part of an ongoing commitment to make the Roswell Museum a more accessible and inclusive institution by meaningfully expanding opportunities for aspiring museum professionals. Students representing ethnically underrepresented groups in the museum field are encouraged to apply.
Working with the Collections and Exhibitions staff, interns will be responsible for various collections care and exhibition projects as well as assist with educational programs. Throughout the internship there will be opportunities to assist with preparing acquisition proposals, exhibition research, installing and de-installing of exhibitions, inventorying the library/archives, documenting collections items, preparing in-loan and new acquisition paperwork, and data entry. Interns attend staff meetings and work collaboratively with staff across the museum. Contact the Museum Registrar at 575-500-0353 for more information.
