Annual Internship at the Smithsonian Institute
Research and training internships are being offered by the University of Notre Dame Department of Anthropology and the National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) in Washington DC.
This program is being funded by our department and it is the first time that the Smithsonian has ever established a special program such as this with a university. The Smithsonian selected Notre Dame following the Department's proposal in which we emphasized our four-fields approach and our commitment to undergraduate research. After reviewing our faculty and our website, they concurred that Notre Dame Anthropology was, indeed, really special. Thus, the Museum staff guarantees internships for our students. Learn more >
