Internships for UVM students

Internships allow students to acquire hands-on experience in a professional setting, somehow related to their area of study. These may be paid opportunities, work-study opportunities, credit-bearing opportunities, and sometimes internships can be both for credit and paid. If the Libraries are offering an internship, it will be posted on the UVM Student Employment Office JobX platform. Login with your UVM NetID and password.

Library employees wishing to create an internship opportunity in their department should seek approval from the dean before working with the Student Employment Office.

UVM student employees

We hire part-time student employees at the beginning of semesters, and we can often work around class schedules.

Open student worker positions are posted at the beginning of the semester on the UVM Student Employment Office JobX platform. Login with your UVM NetID and password.

In Howe or Dana libraries, library assistant positions might work at the main or circulation desks, cataloging books, or at the Media Services desk. Student employees in the libraries may be the first point of contact for library patrons.

In Silver Special Collections, student workers may connect researchers with resources or help staff prepare historical documents and archival records for use by researchers.

We welcome students who qualify for federal work study to apply, but it is not a requirement that you have a work study grant. Stop by any of our three library main service desks to chat with us about employment.

Research fellowships

Fellowships allow researchers paid opportunities to conduct their own work over a set period of time.

Silver Special Collections Library offers pathways for the following research fellowships:

• The New England Regional Fellowship Consortium provides support for at least eight weeks of research in member libraries. The deadline is usually February 1.
• Our Special Collections Library offers access to the Prospect collections--formerly a school and research center. The Prospect School Practitioner Fellowships provide faculty, independent researchers, students, classroom teachers, principals, administrators, and other community members an opportunity to work with these research archives. The deadline is usually in February.
