Interning with Shumla Shumla takes an active role in training the next generation of researchers and scientists. We offer internship positions to highly-motivated students looking to challenge themselves mentally, physically, and professionally. Our mission is the documentation and analysis of rock art, but the skills interns learn can be applied to many academic disciplines and professional careers, including archaeology, art, chemistry, physics, photography, GIS mapping, engineering, IT and more.

Shumla offers paid internships to undergraduate and graduate students. We ask that potential interns participate for a minimum 10-week period. This allows sufficient training and integration into the research team.

Longer time periods may also be considered. In some instances, Shumla has trained interns in public relations, information technology (IT), GIS mapping, and other fields. Application Deadlines Summer deadline is March 1st Fall deadline is July 1st Spring deadline is November 21st

Compensation If you are accepted for an internship position, Shumla provides a modest stipend commensurate with your experience level in order to partially cover living expenses. We provide internship opportunities at both of our locations – Comstock, Texas and San Marcos, Texas. Interns are responsible for travel expenses to the Shumla Offices at the beginning and end of the internship period.

As the Comstock office is located in remote west Texas, interns must have their own vehicle for grocery shopping and other personal needs. Shumla provides free housing for interns at the Comstock location. For those in San Marcos, public transportation is available.

However, interns at the San Marcos location are responsible for finding their own housing. A modest supplement is added to the stipend to assist with this added living cost. Inquiries Email info@shumla.org for additional information if you have questions.
