The GA will work with Barnard library staff to develop a dynamic, multi-faceted, and creative project that centers critical practice. The GA will gain hands-on experience in an academic library and in particular with library exhibitions and programs. Beyond the Centennial project itself, the GA will draw on and explore the rich resources and individual expertise within Barnard’s Library and Academic Centers and the whole Columbia University Library system. The GA supervisor and other Barnard library directors will work with the GA to build a dynamic and meaningful experience together in a rich and supportive environment. The GA will participate in Collections Strategy Team and Critical Collections Community meetings, as well as network with an existing cohort of Archives Fellows.

Compensation: $32/hour

We are interested in your vision for crafting a project, rather than a lesson. Your ideas will give us a sense of how you are thinking about this subject and what excites you, this is not a project proposal per se. It is more important for us to get a sense of who you are, what you are hoping for from this experience, and how you think.

In your cover letter, tell us if you are interested in receiving internship or practicum credit required for your graduate program.

Submit a current C.V. or resume

Provide two academic or professional references
