Dear Colleagues,

The Department of Mineral Sciences at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History is seeking two interns (undergraduate or recent graduate) to work in the rock collection this summer. Here is at bit about the internship:

Broadening Participation in Earth Science Collections Management (BPESCM) is a full-time, 10-week, in-person internship located in the National Rock & Ore Collection with the Department of Mineral Sciences at the National Museum of Natural History. We seek to engage students and recent graduates from cultural, economic, and educational backgrounds currently underrepresented in the museum field who are interested in a career in collections management or museums more broadly.

The stipend for the internship is $12,000 but interns are responsible for finding their own housing. If you know of any undergraduates or recent graduates who might be interested in this opportunity, they can find more information, including instructions for how to apply, under the Internship heading here. The application deadline is March 1.

For questions about the internship, please contact Adam Mansur (mansura@si.edu).

Cheers,
Gabriela
