Summer Intern, MTA (Manhattan)

The MTA Bridges and Tunnels Special Archive and Engineering Library is hiring an intern for the summer.  The position is for 10+ weeks, and would pay graduate students $18/hr.  They would work out of our location at 2 Broadway, and we’re hoping that they will primarily be assisting with a records survey, although there’s room for them to develop the internship to suit their own interests.  Anyone interested in applying should go to www.mymta.info  to find the listing and apply.  Because the Special Archive is in the Engineering Department, students should indicate the department as E&C (Engineering and Construction) when they apply, and the division as Various.
