Marketing and Media Intern, University of Iowa Museum of Art and the University of Iowa Pentacrest Museums
Start date: Immediately
The University of Iowa Museum of Art and the University of Iowa Pentacrest Museums are seeking a motivated, detail- and deadline-oriented individual to fill a newly created Marketing and Media internship. Responsibilities will be wide-ranging and include: writing press releases, developing advertising campaigns, website maintenance, new media communication (blog, Facebook), and some writing and editing for the museums' various print publications. This is the perfect job for a student interested in gaining very real, on-the-job experience to build his or her resume. Writing skill and ability to think creatively are absolutely necessary. Preference will be given to those with a background in journalism, public relations, museums, and/or the arts who intend to pursue a career in those areas, but all qualified candidates are encouraged to apply. Experience with Dreamweaver and Adobe Contribute is also beneficial, but not a requirement.
This is a paid position at $7.50 per hour. The intern will work closely with the museums' Marketing and Media Manager and set a schedule of up to 20 hours a week between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Work study students are encouraged to apply. Please e-mail a resume and as many as 3 writing samples (include other work samples- design, advertising plans, videos, blog, etc. -if applicable) to Maggie Anderson at margaret-anderson@uiowa.edu. Call 319.335.1739 for more information.
