Centre for Research Collections Internships at the University of Edinburgh
The Centre for Research Collections (CRC) has developed a new programme of internships to teach and extend core skills in the archive and conservation disciplines.
Two internships are available (1 archive intern and 1 conservation intern), each for 10 weeks full-time from January to March 2013. A stipend of £3,000 is attached to each internship.
This is an exciting opportunity to work on unique material in Lothian Health Services Archive (www.lhsa.lib.ed.ac.uk): the archive intern will focus on cataloguing the rich photographic resources held, and the conservation intern will concentrate on the treatment and re-housing of early parchment title deeds. Wider experience of working in the archive and higher education sectors will also be offered.
These internships are ideally suited for those who are applying for, or have recently completed, a relevant postgraduate qualification.
To apply, submit your CV (to include contact details, information on your qualifications and any previous voluntary or work experience, and contact details for two referees), and a supporting statement of 500 - 1000 words detailing why you are interested in the internship and describing how participation in the programme would benefit your future career. Please also confirm that you are eligible to work in the UK.
Applications may be sent via email or post to Serena Fredrick ([log in to unmask]; Centre for Research Collections, Edinburgh University Library, 30 George Square, Edinburgh, EH8 9LJ). Applicants will be shortlisted and selection will be based on a subsequent, informal, interview at the CRC, to be held in the week beginning 7 January 2013. Please note that expenses to attend the informal interview will not be paid.
Closing date for applications: 19 December 2012
Starting date: January 2013
