The Liberal Arts Honors Program offers an internship at the Harry Ransom Center (http://www.hrc.utexas.edu) that is designed to provide a current LAH student with experience in the nature and operation of a major humanities research center. The experience gained by interns will benefit them in their own research projects, in possible graduate studies, and even as a career option in such fields as librarianship, museum studies, archival or curatorial work, as well as public affairs, marketing, public programming and event management.
Once selected, interns will choose from a variety of opportunities within the center. These vary from year to year, but will likely include:
The internship will be for the entire academic year (fall and spring semester). Interns are asked to commit to a particular department for at least one full semester. Most interns work in a single department the entire year, but some choose to change at semester break. Internships run for three months in the fall: September, October, and November; and three in the spring: February, March, and April. Thus, the internship will end each semester before finals begin.
The position is not a benefits-eligible one, but there is a stipend of $1500 per semester, for which the intern is expected to put in a 10-hour work week. The student must be registered for a minimum of six hours of coursework. In addition there is the possibility of academic credit if the student registers for a conference course (either TC or English) with an appropriate supervising professor.
Applying
An applicant should provide the following:
Both letters should be addressed to Danielle Sigler, Curator of Academic Affairs, but should be attached to the resumé and delivered to the LAH office.
Deadline for applications is April 1, 2013.
