POSITION DETAILS
Stewards Individual Placement Program (SIPP) provides individuals with service and career opportunities to strengthen communities and preserve our natural resources. Participants work with federal agencies, tribal governments, and nonprofits building institutional capacity, developing community relationships, and supporting ecosystem health. SIPP in partnership with Waco Mammoth National Monument is seeking an intern who will work with a highly experienced Scientists in Parks 20-week intern, National Park Service staff, and the Mayborn Museum collections manager to inventory the collection and update the database. Upon completion of the inventory, the collection can officially be transferred to the National Park Service.
This internship will not only prepare the collection for donation, but this on-the-ground experience will assist in growing the skill set of any intern interested in paleontology or museum study career paths. The participant will use their technical skills to actively study specimens during the conservation/preparation process to learn and share knowledge about the paleontological resources of the monument and their importance to science, interpretation, and resource management. This position supports resource management and provides paleontological education to visitors and park staff.
The purpose of Waco Mammoth National Monument is to protect and conserve the remains of a nursery herd of Pleistocene Columbian mammoths and related resources of scientific importance and to inspire visitors, foster a learning environment, and support ongoing research. Building on the visionary support of the communities of central Texas, the park is managed through the continued collaborative partnership.
