Curatorial Intern Position (Clark Center, Hanford, CA)
The Clark Center for Japanese Art and Culture in Hanford, California, is accepting applications for its curatorial intern program. The internship will begin on an agreed date in August 2009 and will last for one year.
The program offers a tremendous opportunity for training and hands-on experience in multiple aspects of museum management, including art registration, handling and storage, record keeping and research,
acquisitions and loans, installation and presentation to the public, maintaining a reference library. Interns will be exposed to a wide range of subjects and media, broadening and deepening their knowledge of diverse aspects of Japanese art usually not taught at university. The internship will culminate with the intern’s production of an exhibition around the end of the internship.
The internship is a 12 month position, and offers on-site housing with utilities included, a car for local use, an $18,000 stipend and a $3,000 research grant.
The ideal candidate would be an advanced graduate student in Japanese art history with a working knowledge of Japanese who wishes to pursue a museum or academic career. Previous Clark Center interns have received appointments at such prestigious institutions as the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the
Victoria and Albert Museum, the Korean National Museum of Art, the Peabody-Essex Museum, the University of Heidelberg, and the Sagami Women’s University.
To apply, candidates should submit a cover letter, resume, and two letters of recommendation to:
Andreas Marks
