Internship opportunity at MoMA:
The Friends of Education at the Museum of Modern Art is sponsoring a 12-month paid internship in MoMA's Department of Film. Each year, MoMA hires a limited number of interns. The selection process is competitive, and the successful candidate will be one of 8 interns hired by MoMA in its various departments. The goal of this particular internship is to further the Museum’s commitment to diversity by seeking out talented African and African Diaspora graduate students and recent graduates who could benefit from a 1 year curatorial experience at one of the world’s leading museums of modern and contemporary art.
The intern will participate in the entire spectrum of curatorial activities that the Department of Film engages in, from exhibition planning and ex*****on to working with the Celeste Bartos Film Preservation Center. The internship focuses on three exhibitions in particular: the exhibition and accompanying publication for The Berlin School, which explores the new and aesthetically driven form of German political cinema; the ongoing MoMA partnership with the Berlin Film Festival; and Vienna Unveiled, a major collaborative exhibition that explores Vienna throughout the history of cinema as a city both real and mythic. In addition, the intern assists various curatorial and administrative staff of the department in all aspects of film operations. The internship period is September 9, 2013–September 5, 2014
The internship is supported by the Friends of Education at MoMA, an affiliate committee of the museum whose mission is to foster a greater appreciation of art created by African American artists and to encourage African American participation and membership at MoMA. The Friends of Education’s acquisition fund supports the purchase of art created by African Americans for MoMA’s permanent collection. In addition to financial support, the group's members provide invaluable assistance to the Museum's outreach efforts to the African American community.

Requirements: The ideal candidate will have a liberal arts academic background and a general knowledge of film and film culture. Fluency in German is preferred. Any previous experience working in a museum is helpful, but is not essential.
To apply for this position: Please visit MoMA.org, and complete each of the steps for Part I of the Twelve-Month Internship Program application. Follow this link, or paste it into a browser: http://www.moma.org/learn/courses/internships
