Mellon Fellowship in Objects Conservation
The Walters Art Gallery

The Walters Art Gallery is accepting applications for the Andrew W.
Mellon Fellowship in Objects Conservation to begin in the Fall of
2000. The fellowship period extends one calendar year and is
renewable for a second. While at the museum, the Fellow will work
with the Walters diverse collection of ancient, medieval, Islamic,
Renaissance, European and Asian art. Fellows will serve as an active
staff member of the Division of Conservation and Technical Research
and will participate fully within that division. Conservation
treatments are selected based upon the Fellow's experience and
interests, as well as museum priorities. A research project related
to the Walters collection and culminating in a publishable paper,
will also be an important component of the Fellowship. Salary for
the first year will be $26,000 plus benefits package and a
research/travel allowance of $3,350.

Candidates should be graduates of a recognized graduate program or
have equivalent experience. Applicants are invited to submit a
