We're looking for two University of Essex students to work with us through the Frontrunner internship scheme. The two internships are:

Collections Care

The frontrunner will work alongside the Collections Assistant in ESCALA’s main office when training on our digital museum documentation system, MuseumIndex+, and in our new teaching and research space in the Constable Building when training in caring for and documenting artworks in order to upload information to MuseumIndex+. 

Object-Based Learning 

The frontrunner will be able to work alongside the Curatorial Assistant in ESCALA’s archive space and also in the Collection’s new purpose-designed research and teaching space in the Constable Building. Based in the archive, the Frontrunner will have the opportunity to learn how to organise this kind of material, how to research it and how to use it in support of object-based learning.

For more information about eligibility and how to apply, please see the Frontrunners website.

The deadline for applications is 23 November at noon.
