The AMIA Pathways Fellowship supports paid internships in combination with mentorship and professional development training to forge pathways in the audiovisual preservation field for people from groups historically underrepresented in the profession.

The Application Process

To be accepted as a Pathways Fellow, you must complete two applications. While each institution offers a unique and important internship opportunity, it is only one part of the Fellowship program. The seven-month Fellowship also includes a five month mentorship, a 12 week curriculum program, and professional development including attendance at the AMIA annual conference.

The Pathways Fellowship Application (below). This application is reviewed for your interest in and commitment to the full seven-month Fellowship program. In addition to the Fellowship application review, you must also be accepted to a Fellowship internship at one of our host institutions. Only one Pathways application is needed.

Individual Internship Application (available here). You may apply to multiple internship opportunities from our listed host institutions. Each institution requires an individual application that is reviewed by the host institution, based on the individual internship job description as well as the Fellowship guidelines.

Both applications must be received to be considered for the Pathways Fellowship Program. Acceptance into the Fellowship program is distinct from acceptance into any individual internship and notification will occur after internship selections have been made. All Fellows are expected to participate in activities throughout the Fellowship (June - December, 2024), including curriculum, mentorship, and conference activities.

This fellowship is meant to support individuals from traditionally underrepresented communities in the field of moving image archives and audiovisual preservation. Please reference AMIA’s Statement on Diversity and Inclusion to inform your application.
