Architecture Media Politics Society(AMPS) Internships

Posted May 10, 2016

Architecture_media_politics_society (AMPS C.I.O.) is a non-profit research organisation. Its peerreviewed, open access journal Architecture_MPS (ISSN 2050-9006) is published with UCL Press. It represents a first in scholarly publication in that it is run by both an academic and a librarian team. The AMPS Intern Training Program is for recent graduates and MLS students. It is specifically designed to prepare early careers librarians for the changing nature of the job market in which their ability to transfer their skills to non-standard contexts will be a key attribute.

• This internship is voluntary (unpaid).
• Time commitment is flexible (can be adapted to the requirements of particular programs and interns).
• Minimum duration of the internship is six months. A special three month internship available for summer 2016.
• All interns work remotely.
• For-credit* and not-for-credit *for-credit option dependent on agreement between AMPS and the MLS program

Several positions are available:

1. Digital Archive/Outreach/Social media – You will be integral to collating an innovative resource repository of open access online information about the themes relevant to AMPS. Central to this will be outreach through online channels, principally social media (Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest). The resources will vary and will be related to our conferences, research programs and the areas investigated by our international team of researchers.
2. Reference/Research Support – You will support the academic researchers engaged in AMPS publications and research programs. More generally, you will perform research activities (including sourcing, analyzing and collecting information as needed) to support AMPS’ Senior Management in achieving the objectives of the organization. You do not need subject experience. Typical areas of research include architecture librarianship, urbanism, sustainability, health and government policy. You will report to the Head of Research.
