Getty Post‑Baccalaureate Conservation Internships

The Getty Post‑Baccalaureate Conservation Internships are yearlong, full‑time placements that provide hands‑on conservation experience and financial support to post‑baccalaureate participants preparing to apply to conservation graduate programs. Interns spend the first six months at Getty conservation studios and labs and the second six months at a local Los Angeles museum or a different Getty department. The programme aims to increase representation of individuals from underrepresented backgrounds in conservation and includes academic advising and opportunities for prerequisite coursework.

Annual grant of $45,500; $1,500 relocation allowance; $4,000 for educational/professional development; subsidized healthcare enrollment; academic advising; placement at Getty and local Los Angeles museums/departments; opportunity to enroll in a prerequisite community college course.

Candidates must be United States citizens or permanent residents (green card holders); DACA recipients with status valid through the internship period are also eligible. Applicants should be post‑baccalaureate individuals committed to a conservation career, possess previous experience in conservation, and be intending to pursue graduate study in conservation.

Apply via the Getty/Fluxx grant portal; submit a current resume, personal statement (up to 1,000 words split into two prompts), and unofficial transcripts (combined as a single PDF).
