The Getty's application portal for 2026/27 Graduate Student Internships  now open: https://www.getty.edu/projects/graduate-internships/. There is a specific internship available in the Department of Manuscripts but see all internship opportunities here: https://www.getty.edu/projects/graduate-internships/opportunities/

In recent years, the Department of Manuscripts has been more active than ever developing and expanding our programs of exhibitions, publications, education, and online resources. Interns in the department work with the Museum’s collection of illuminated manuscripts in a variety of contexts. They will have the opportunity to work on an exhibition, to collaborate on the Museum’s interactive multimedia program, to conduct research on the collection, and to observe at close hand how a curatorial department functions. The Getty also offers the opportunity to get to know scholars from all over the world, including Manuscripts Department guest scholars and conservators in residence at the Museum as well as the Getty Research Institute scholars. We are welcome applicants who are eager to work on projects that are vital and relevant to contemporary, diverse audiences both in and outside of the galleries. We give all qualified applications careful consideration.

Please note that the application deadline is November 4, 2025.
