[Cross-posted—please feel free to forward to relevant groups and individuals!] The Getty Graduate Internship Program Getty Graduate Internships are offered in the four programs of the J. Paul Getty Trust—the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Getty Research Institute, the Getty Conservation Institute, and the Getty Foundation, as well as in Getty Publications—to graduate students who intend to pursue careers in fields related to the visual arts. Training and work experience placements are available in areas such as curatorial, education, conservation, research, publications, information management, public programs, and grantmaking. Internships are located at the Getty Center in Los Angeles. All positions are full-time for twelve months from September 12, 2022, to September 8, 2023. Internship in Special Collections Cataloging The intern in Special Collections Cataloging will gain hands-on experience with Getty's unique research collections, which include archives of artists, architects, dealers and art historians; sketches and drawings; prints from the 16th to the 21st century; and rare photographs. The broad range of subject areas includes, but is not limited to: art collectors and collecting, 20th-century architecture, video and performance art, Latin American art, and African American art, a recently established collecting area in support of the Getty's African American Art History Initiative. Primary responsibilities will include processing and cataloging special collections, with other projects assigned according to the intern's skills and interests. Specific tasks may include re-housing and arranging materials, writing finding aids, creating catalog records, writing blog posts, contributing to team-based processing projects, and collaborating on digitization projects. In the event that work-from-home becomes necessary, the internship will pivot to focus on collections management activities and legacy data cleanup work, which will broaden the Special Collections Cataloging intern's experience using the department's multiple systems and tools related to archival collections management and cataloging. Additional remote work possibilities include converting legacy PDF finding aids to EAD, and creating records in SNAC (Social Networks and Archival Context) to account for persons, families, and organizations in GRI archival holdings. Eligibility Internships are open to students of all nationalities. Individuals from groups underrepresented across the fields of art history, conservation, and museums are encouraged to apply. Applicants must be: Students currently enrolled in a graduate program (Master of Arts (M.A.), Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), graduate conservation certificate, or their equivalents for international applicants) in a field relevant to the internship(s) for which they are applying. *or* Individuals who have completed a relevant graduate degree (Master of Arts (M.A.), Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), graduate conservation certificate, or their equivalents for international applicants) on or after January 1, 2019, with postgraduate activities in their field, paid or unpaid. Terms The grant amount is $47,500 for twelve months, plus $1,500 towards relocation expenses if the intern is coming from outside the Los Angeles area. Housing is not provided. Support for research travel is available for up to $2,500. Graduate Interns are eligible to enroll in the Getty's health care plan. Getty requires COVID-19 vaccination for all staff, including Getty Graduate Interns. Limited exceptions may be granted for reasons of medical, disability or sincerely held religious beliefs. If an intern wishes to request an exception, that must be done within seven (7) calendar days of the first day of the internship. How to Apply Applicants are required to complete and submit the online Graduate Internship application form by 5:00p.m. Pacific Time on January 10, 2022.
