The Getty Foundation has launched a call for internships in the four programmes of the J. Paul Getty Trust - the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Getty Research Institute, the Getty Conservation Institute and the Getty Foundation-, as well as in Getty Publications. Getty Graduate Internships are offered to graduate students who intend to pursue careers in fields related to the visual arts. Training and work experience placements are available in areas such as curatorial, education, conservation, research, publications, information management, public programmes, and grantmaking. Internships are open to students of all nationalities. Applicants must be:

• Students currently enrolled in a graduate programme (Masters or Doctorate) in a field relevant to the internship(s) for which they are applying; or
• Individuals who have completed a relevant graduate degree on or after 1 January 2015, with postgraduate activities in their field, paid or unpaid.

Internships are located at the Getty Center in Los Angeles or the Getty Villa in Malibu. All positions are full-time beginning in September 2018, for a duration of 8 to 12 months. Applications should be sent by 1 November 2017, including a personal statement, a resume or CV, transcript / academic records and 2 letters of recommendation. The Getty Foundation fulfills the philanthropic mission of the Getty Trust by supporting individuals and institutions committed to advancing the greater understanding and preservation of the visual arts in Los Angeles and throughout the world. Through strategic grant initiatives, it strengthens art history as a global discipline, promotes the interdisciplinary practice of conservation, increases access to museum and archival collections, and develops current and future leaders in the visual arts. It carries out its work in collaboration with the other Getty Programmes to ensure that they individually and collectively achieve maximum effect. Initially called the Getty Grant Programme, the Getty Foundation was established in 1984.
