Internship opportunities sought

The Program in Maritime Studies at East Carolina University is
currently looking for organizations that would be interested in
hosting an internship for students undertaking their master's degree
in maritime archaeology with a focus on conservation. Currently,
students undertake an introduction to archaeology and museum
conservation course, an advanced conservation course, an internship,
and conduct part of their thesis research on a conservation related
topic. The program is designed to produce archaeologists that are
aware of the preservation issues faced on archaeological sites and
in museum environments. Students from other disciplines such as
Anthropology and Public History are also involved in the courses and
can be placed for internships.

Students are available to participate in one month, two month, or
three month internships. If your organization is available to host a
conservation student, reply to Susanne Grieve at grieves<-at->ecu<.>edu.
Please include the following information:

    Duration of internship
    Paid/Unpaid
    Possibility of housing?
    Types of activities

We look forward to working with local, national, and international
institutions to produce well trained professionals with work
experience. Please visit the student conservation blog at
