Internship Description

The University Press of Colorado, a non-profit scholarly book publisher, is looking for an intern to aid the staff of the press with the completion of key projects related to its book publishing programs.

The intern will be assigned to two key projects. First, the intern will assist the director of the press in building out the area of UPCs website devoted to our Open Access (freely available) titles, including adding titles, authors, and related title metadata to the backend system, Manifold, used to support this site. Training on using Manifold will be provided. A preview of this site and what is already available can be found here: http://read.upcolorado.com.

Second, the intern will assist the director of the press and the marketing director in adding awards won for titles across our four imprints—University Press of Colorado, University of Alaska Press, Utah State University Press, and the University of Wyoming Press—to our internal press database for project tracking and management. Our press database is built on a SaaS (software as a service) platform called Caspio, and, once again, training will be provided. A list of awards won can be found on our website here: https://upcolorado.com/about-us/awards.

Skills we value in this position:

  • organization, efficiency, and creativity
  • excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • sense of collaboration and the desire to be part of a team
  • experience with Microsoft Office products, Zoom, GSuite, Slack, and Box
  • strong commitment to diversity, equity, respect, and inclusion

Hours: 10 hours per week. Schedules are flexible depending on the prospective intern's course schedule.

Location: This internship will be remote, so access to a computer and telecommuting software (Zoom) is required.

Starting Date: First or second week of classes.

Duration: 8-12 weeks

Pay: $17.50 / hour

Application Materials: Resume and a brief Statement of Interest (does not have to be a full cover letter, a paragraph will suffice) should be emailed to internships [at] upcolorado.com

The University Press of Colorado is actively committed to maintaining a culture of diversity, inclusion, equity, and respect. We seek applicants who, like the press, are interested in building upon and contributing to a larger community that values a culture of learning, appreciation, and diverse identities, lives, and experiences. 

We will consider candidates without regard to race, ethnicity, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, ability, age, or veteran status.
