Friends of the University of Alberta Museums 25th Anniversary Student Internship in Museum Innovation

The University of Alberta Museums offers an annual fully-funded summer internship to a U of A senior undergraduate student.

Under the guidance of Museums and Collections Services, the intern will gain a diverse experience in museum practice, leadership, strategic planning and project management. The student will undertake project(s) in one of the following areas of museology:

  • Curation
  • Education
  • Exhibitions/Design
  • Information/Collections Management
  • Research

The internship is intended to support students who wish to pursue careers in museum study, practice, research or innovation, and to provide an opportunity for student scholarship related to museology and object-based learning. The Internship in Museum Innovation was established in 2009 to commemorate the Friends of the University of Alberta Museums 25th Anniversary.
