Graduate Curatorial Internships at the National Gallery of Art provide in-depth training for advanced PhD students and recent PhD recipients interested in gaining curatorial experience in a museum setting. Interns work with curators on permanent collection and exhibition projects and attend a weekly seminar that introduces the staff, departments, programs, and functions of the Gallery. The duties and responsibilities are comparable to those of curatorial assistants. Graduate Curatorial Interns are in residence at the Gallery from September 10, 2018, to May 10, 2019, and work full time. Interns receive a stipend of approximately $30,000 that is subject to all applicable taxes. Additional information and application procedures are available at https://www.nga.gov/opportunities/interns-and-fellows/graduate/curatorial-internships.html, by email: intern@nga.gov, or by calling (202) 842-6182.

Applications must be received by 12 January 2018.

RequirementsEligibility is limited to doctoral students who are in the advanced stage of their dissertations and to recent PhD recipients (dissertations must have been filed no earlier than September 2015). Neither previous museum experience nor a stated goal of a museum career is required. The National Gallery of Art strongly encourages applications from students who are members of groups underrepresented in careers related to museums and the visual arts. This is an international program.
