Archivist intern

Description

CVPath Institute is a leading medical research and education organization dedicated to improving patient health management for those suffering from cardiac and vascular diseases. Established in 2005 as a not-for-profit organization under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, our mission is to conduct basic and translational “bench to bedside” research. We provide consultation, histology, and diagnostic services to promote discoveries that advance diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, the institution codifies one of the largest and most comprehensive repositories of diseased human tissue and makes it available for investigative studies and teaching.

Currently, the Archives department is seeking an intern to assist with organizing and inventorying a specialized section of the archives which includes research and study folders, glass slides, and paraffin/plastic blocks. Tasks would include inventorying, properly and clearly labeling, and providing logical locations for study materials to better assist CVPath’s research fellows and assist in providing reference services. The intern will primarily be using Microsoft Excel and should be motivated, highly organized, and detail-oriented. An interest in archives or library and information science is preferred.
