AIP Center for History of Physics Internship

Are you curious about the human story behind scientific discoveries? The AIP Niels Bohr Library & Archives is looking for two interns to work with staff to create a museum-style exhibit to highlight the human side of physics using the fascinating photographs, oral history interviews, archival collections, and books from the library and archives collections. The exhibit will fill three small display cases and will have an online companion piece. Interns will research potential topics for the exhibit and work with staff to select the most appropriate topic, locate information and resources for inclusion in the exhibit, work with a web designer to wireframe the online exhibit, and create the physical exhibit and install it in the display cases. The interns will also create a social media outreach plan to promote the exhibit on various outlets, including a newsletter, blog, Facebook, and Twitter (using Hootsuite Social Media Dashboard), and will create separate outreach plans to promote the Library & Archives and the exhibit to SPS student members and more broadly, to physics departments within colleges/universities. Other creative outreach and promotion items are encouraged (i.e. bibliography for related reading and research, posters/flyers/other graphic print announcements, bookmarks and other promotional materials). We are looking for creative ideas to showcase the intersection of science with the humanities.
