Throughout the year the º¬Ðß²ÝÑо¿ÊÒ Museum of Art offers various paid employment opportunities for º¬Ðß²ÝÑо¿ÊÒ students. These can include curatorial work and museum education, and positions in the Museum Shop.

Student Assistants to the Curator are hired for the academic year, and work one-on-one with a museum staff member on exhibition and collections research, contributing to upcoming shows by researching and writing labels for works of art, among many other curatorial duties.

They provide guided tours of the Museum's galleries and exhibitions to groups of all ages, plan and lead Family Saturday activities and develop educational resources. During the summer, these students also assist in other museum departments, helping the curators and registrars with exhibition and collection research.
