About the Role
The Museum Technology Assistant will support technology upgrades and maintenance for the general operation and various departmental needs, including digitization, public accessibility, audio/visual content development and editing, and more. A main priority this year is developing a long-term solution/process for editing various audio/visual content for public access and online engagement and in preparation for upcoming exhibitions. This will include developing procedures and supporting volunteer engagement/training for certain areas (e.g. tag words, caption or alt text development, etc.). This role will also support our marketing and promotional efforts with content development, graphic design, and template creation. Other areas of our operation have technology components that the student can focus on as time permits and if there is interest – for example, developing a smoother registration process and survey analysis for public programs or database management and data entry for the collections or archival departments.
All staff assist in the daily opening, operating, and closing procedures associated with Museum operations.
