short-term opportunities to work on research projects with staff
members. Preference will be given to applicants currently enrolled
in conservation training programs or graduate students in related
subjects. Stipends will be offered for a period of up to 10 weeks.
The internships are intended mainly for the summer of 2009, but
consideration will be given to projects at other times during the
year. Projects will be supervised by the MCI staff members, whom
applicants are strongly urged to contact in advance of application.

    A cover letter explaining the candidate's interests and intent
    in applying for the project

    Curriculum vitae, with basic biographical information and
    current and permanent addresses and telephone numbers

    Names and contact information for two references

All applications should be sent to the staff member with whom the
candidate wishes to work, either electronically or at the following
address:

            Museum Conservation Institute
            Museum Support Center
            Smithsonian Institution
            4210 Silver Hill Road
