Opportunities for Students and Researchers

 

Auckland Museum is an ideal site for students to gain experience – from undergraduate through to emerging research professionals. We also seek to partner with established researchers and academics to facilitate the creation of new knowledge through the use of Museum collections.

 

There are opportunities in a range of areas including:

science and humanities; digital experience; science communication; commercial and event planning; exhibition planning; project management; marketing and communications; heritage conservation; fundraising.
