Internship at New York Academy of Medicine

2011 Internship in Book Conservation
Gladys Brooks Book and Paper Conservation Laboratory
The New York Academy of Medicine

The Gladys Brooks Internship at The New York Academy of Medicine is
designed to provide an opportunity for practical hands-on training
in book and paper conservation at an intermediate to advanced level.
This internship is for individuals who have 3 to 4 years of
practical experience working in the field.

Interns will undertake and complete a project based on their
interests and skills and the needs and capabilities of the
conservation laboratory. At the end of the internship period, the
intern will be required to produce a written report and deliver a
presentation of their work.

Submit a detailed letter of interest, a current resume, and three
professional recommendations--all to the address below. An interview
is required (preferably on-site) and candidates should present a
portfolio of completed bindings or other relevant treatments at that
time.

Applicants must have a student or working visa if they are not U.S.
citizens.  Unfortunately, we are not able to assist in this process.

The Gladys Brooks Internship provides a stipend of approximately
$5,000. Applications for the 2011 internship must be postmarked by
December 15, 2010.

The internship will last for 2 to 3 months, depending on the number
of days per week spent in the Gladys Brooks Laboratory.
