NAARCH Internship 2025
Individuals interested in joining the NAARCH Lab Internship should be highly motivated, patient, detail-oriented, and professional. Prior archaeological experience in either the field or in the lab is not necessary but will be a factor in our selection. The application form can be found at: http://www.amnh.org/our- research/anthropology/policies-links/internship-program, and is also attached at the bottom of the flyer.
The internships are unpaid volunteer positions. Course credit can be offered to those individuals currently enrolled in an accredited school of higher learning. The North American Archaeology Lab offers three internship sessions a year (summer, fall, and spring). The NAARCH department asks interns to commit three days a week, for a period of 10 weeks per semester. The number of interns accepted varies according to the research goals per semester.
