DESCRIPTION: The editorial intern works with editors in the MNHS Press (book publishing); MNopedia (the online encyclopedia of Minnesota history), and Minnesota History (quarterly peer-reviewed magazine). Each function has specific editorial needs, but our work processes overlap as we acquire manuscripts for publication, evaluate their quality, diagnose editorial tasks, work with authors to improve the text, and perform copyediting and proofing as the manuscripts move through production.

QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Currently enrolled as an undergraduate or graduate student, or have graduated within the past 12 months at the time of application.

  • Ideal candidates might be currently pursuing, or have graduated with a degree in the following areas: English, history, anthropology, journalism, American studies, or related field

  • Familiarity with or willingness to learn Microsoft Word and Excel, Google Docs, FileMaker Pro, and other software applications, as well as MNHS library procedures.

  • Ability to research, write, and communicate clearly and accurately.

  • Ability to track details.

  • Comfortable with taking on multiple tasks and working with more than one supervisor.
