Denver Museum of Nature & Science Internship

The intern will catalog fossil, mineral, and rock collections and/or make paleogeographic geology and fossil maps spanning the last 500 million years of the Earth’s history. Their experience will be augmented by short-term opportunities to work in our preparation labs, in the field, and to participate in events where they will engage directly with the public. This internship offers a unique opportunity to work in a large nonprofit institution, gain experience with museum collections and/or databases, develop relationships with scientists from a diverse array of fields, handle world-class fossil and mineral specimens, conduct some fieldwork, and engage in informal education and museum life.

Invertebrate Paleontology Curation Internship

The intern will participate in the Noblett-Witter intern program through the Colorado College Department of Geology to catalog the Columbia University Invertebrate Paleontology Systematic Collection of Phylum Echinodermata in order to broaden access to the collection. The intern will work in a team of two, under the supervision of a Museum Specialist and AMNH collections staff, to rehouse, conserve, and catalog @5000 lots of marine fossils. Rehousing and conservation will protect the physical specimens while cataloging, databasing and imaging will ensure essential tools are in place for effective collection management – retrieving specimens, monitoring the collection for risks, and maintaining an accurate inventory. It will provide a valuable resource for special exhibitions and education programs for students, teachers, and the general public. Project results will be disseminated through the museum’s website, interns’ blogs, staff presentations, and posters at professional meetings.
