Overview
The Office of Policy, Planning, Research,
and Communications at the Institute of Museum and Library
Services seeks two part-time interns for the fall and/or
spring semester to assist with work on publications and
media relations. Work will be focused on, but not limited
to, museum and library programs funded by IMLS. The intern
may design a flexible schedule around classes, with a
minimum commitment of 10-20 hours a week. The position
is unpaid but will generate clips and build resumes.
The intern should be a strong writer who
pays careful attention to detail and deadlines. Duties
include but are not limited to writing, editing, and disseminating
information in the form of press releases, feature stories
(profiles/case studies/success stories), blurbs, and Web
content. Interns may also help plan and execute special
events and press briefings. An energetic go-getter will
fit well in this fast-paced office.
The position is being extended to bachelor
and graduate degree candidates in media studies, journalism,
and public affairs programs. We will cooperate in arrangements
for school credit wherever possible.
To apply for a fall internship, please send
a cover letter and a resume on or before September 30;
for a spring internship, by December 15 . IMLS is willing
to accommodate summer internships or those that extend
beyond a single semester in order to meet credit requirements
of the university.
Please forward the materials to:
