Internship opportunities at Royal Museums Greenwich

The collections of Royal Museums Greenwich in the fields of time, navigation, astronomy, cartography and nautical technology are world class. The intern programme is designed to further our knowledge of the collections and increase their accessibility to our audiences.

Research at the National Maritime Museum and Royal Observatory is not just for those considering a career in museums or galleries. The Museum’s collections offer rich sources for a wide range of subjects – not only maritime history and history of astronomy, but also the wider history of science and technology, economic and business history, the history of production and consumption, imperial history and exploration. For those considering further postgraduate research, they provide an opportunity to access the collections and gain valuable experience in the study of material culture within a clearly defined project.

The aim of the programme is to encourage research in the collections, and although this will include work on archive material, the primary focus should be on collection items. Interns will be supervised by an appropriate member of the curatorial team over a six-week period and will be paid a bursary of £1500 to cover living expenses and travel to and from the Museum.

Applications for the 2014–15 scheme are now open. The closing date is Monday 17 March 2014 and the internship may be taken between June 2014 and April 2015.
