Internships

The Ringling’s fall and spring internship program introduces college students to the intricacies of a major museum complex. It provides foundational insight into most museum careers through practical work experience not available in most academic settings. 

Interns participate in daily operations across departments and have the opportunity to attend museum tours with curators, board meetings, lectures, exhibition openings, and departmental orientations. Two types of internships are offered, including paid and unpaid volunteer experiences. Questions about internship opportunities can be sent to [email protected].

Fellowships

The Fellowship Program is designed to help recent recipients of a master’s or doctoral degree in the arts, arts administration or museum studies to prepare for a career in museum management and administration, museum education, and curatorship.

Applicants must be able to work independently and as a team member. We seek individuals who are upbeat, imaginative, and willing to participate in many areas of museum operation. Students nearing completion of a master’s or doctoral degree and who meet these requirements are encouraged to apply.

Each year Fellowship departments and projects change. For more information on this coming year’s department and the specific requirements of the position, contact Ringling Human Resources at [email protected].
