Are you a student of archaeology, art history, conservation / restoration, engineering, library science, museology or public administration? If so, you may be interested in undertaking an internship at TARA. The programme is open to students and graduates from around the world. TARA is currently looking for people with interest and experience in the archives and digitization, documentation and community projects. Fundraising and earned income activities are also current priority areas.

Internships can be undertaken individually or in association with a university or other study programme. TARA takes into consideration the applicant's studies, interests and career goals in selecting interns. We can take into consideration any length of time for an internship, although it should ideally be a minimum of two months. TARA does invest time in supervision, although due to our limited resources, interns are also expected to work independently. Interns are required to submit a final report and make a presentation to TARA staff upon completion of their attachment.

TARA is unable to provide financial support for international travel but will assist in obtaining necessary documents to enter and temporarily reside in Kenya. TARA can look for (and sometimes provide) reasonable accommodation for interns and assist, where possible, with local transportation. TARA does not normally provide an allowance, although lunch is provided. Interns are welcome and encouraged to join in TARA activities and it is possible that an intern may be invited to join one of our survey/documentation trips. Interns, however, will be responsible for their own medical insurance, which is compulsory. Applications are considered on an ongoing basis.

Interested applicants should email a brief motivational statement and CV
