Two internships in archaeological conservation are available at the
Institute for Aegean Prehistory Study Center for East Crete (INSTAP
SCEC) during the summer of 2018. These internships are available for 6-8
weeks between May 1^st and July 30^th .
The INSTAP SCEC conservation lab is responsible for material excavated
by several American and Greek teams, including those working at Mochlos,
Azorias, Petras and Gournia. Most of the work this summer will focus on
the treatment of archaeological ceramics. Interns participate fully in
the work of the lab, which includes lifting fragile artifacts on site,
examining and treating priority finds, discussions with material
specialists and the full reconstruction of selected artifacts for the
new Agios Nikolaos Museum. The lively INSTAP Study Center offers interns
the chance to meet students and experts in a variety of fields from many
different universities. It also hosts a summer lecture series, has an
excellent library and is a good base for exploring the archaeology of Crete.
Applicants must be recent graduates of, or currently enrolled in, a
conservation degree program.
They should also be able to communicate, and carry out conservation
documentation, in English.
Please email a letter of interest, a CV and a letter of recommendation
to [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>
Application deadline: December 31^st 2017.

We are very sorry that we have no funding to support the internships. We
hope that interns can support themselves through funding from their
school, or from scholarships such as the Zibby Garnett Travel
Fellowship. We can help you to find low cost housing (around 120 Euros
per month).
Please contact Kathy if you need any more information on the internships.
