Student Educators
Position Summary:
The Hammer Museum is looking for UCLA students to serve as student educators for Summer 2012 and the 2012-2013 academic year. The Hammer Student Educator program is made up of both undergraduate and graduate UCLA students from all disciplines and serve as the Museum’s “docents,” leading tours of special exhibitions and collections for audiences of diverse backgrounds and ages.
Hammer Student Educators are the bridge between our visitors and our artworks and are therefore key representatives of the Hammer Museum. Members of our educator corps are given in-depth information on the Hammer’s special exhibitions and permanent collections and are responsible for the entire process of creating a tour, from research to execution. As a result, student educator tours are thematically unique and backed by a strong theoretical foundation. Educators give an average of four to six tours per month, and engage in special projects including content development, writing lesson plans for a variety of grade levels, and compiling resources on artists.
By serving as educators, students can become actively involved with the Museum and gain valuable experience in museum work, as well as improve their research, writing and communication skills. Hammer Student Educators are paid $10/hour and are expected to work at least four regular office hours per week as well as 2-4 additional tour giving hours.
We are currently seeking up to 8 educator positions, beginning in either June 2012 or September 2012. Both opportunities will continue through the rest of the academic year, with an option to continue through the following summer.
Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis, with a final application deadline of Friday, April 27, 2012.
Please send cover letter and resume to Sarah Kozal skozal@hammer.ucla.edu
