About

Goal

The Graduate Internship program provides training and work experience in departments across Getty that prepare graduate students for visual arts careers.

Background

Graduate Internships are offered in the four programs of the J. Paul Getty Trust—the Getty Museum, the Getty Conservation Institute, the Getty Research Institute, and the Getty Foundation—and in Getty Publications, Getty Digital, Communications, and Development. Placements are typically available in areas such as curatorial, education, conservation, research, publications, web and new media, public programs, digital projects, and grantmaking.

Please review the list of internship opportunities and host departments participating in 2026-2027. Using the online Fluxx application, you must select two positions in order of preference.

Application Deadline

Applicants are required to submit a complete online Graduate Internship application form by 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on November 4, 2025. Materials received after the deadline will result in an incomplete application. We cannot accept applications hand-delivered to the Getty Center or those sent by e-mail or fax.
