Internships

The Wende offers internship opportunities for college and graduate students interested in careers in museums. Based upon their academic training, interests and language skills, as well as the availability of projects, interns work in one of the Wende’s departments—collections, research or administration. Most projects require reading knowledge of German or Russian. Applicants of diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply.

Paid internships are offered only through work-study arrangements with host universities. Please contact your internship office at your institution if you are interested in receiving credit.

For the past few years, the Wende Museum was also able to offer paid summer internships to undergraduates in the Los Angeles area through the Getty’s Multicultural Internship Program grant, details of which are posted on our web site. We host interns from University of California Los Angeles, University of Southern California, Loyola Marymount University and California State University, Dominguez Hills and CSU Los Angeles.

How to Apply

Please send cover letter, resume and references to Cristina Cuevas-Wolf at CCuevaswolf@wendemuseum.org.
