While it continuously pursues new titles, UPVa also maintains a backlist of over 1,000 titles in print . The University Press of Virginia seeks volunteer interns on an ongoing basis. These internships are a wonderful chance to gain valuable job experience and an understanding of the field of scholarly publishing. Past interns have gone on to successful careers in both scholarly and trade publishing. Opportunities are available in Acquisitions, Marketing, Manuscript Editorial, Rights and Permissions, and the Business Office.
Duties vary by department.
We ask for a time commitment of ten hours a week and prefer that interns stay at the Press for two semesters or more. Graduate and undergraduate students from all areas of the humanities and social sciences are encouraged to apply.
