Positions at University of Southampton

Textile Conservators
The Textile Conservation Centre
University of Southampton

We need additional Textile Conservators to work in the Centre's
Conservation Services Department at our purpose-designed building on
the University of Southampton's Winchester School of Art campus.

To join the team, you must work to a consistently high standard,
whilst completing work to deadline and within estimate.  A
successful track record in project management is therefore an asset.
Our conservation projects range from banners and tapestries to
costume and archaeological textiles.  You should be an excellent
communicator and team worker with a wide range of conservation
experience and interests. We encourage specialisms, such as costume,
tapestries and archaeological textiles, but you must retain the
flexibility to tackle any project.

It is an exciting time to be part of the Textile Conservation
Centre, as the many benefits of working in our new building and with
University colleagues begin to unfold.  If you are a trained,
experienced Textile Conservator, join us and help us continue to
develop our future.  As part of the University, unique opportunities
exist to develop research interests.

These posts will be on a 3-year contract basis, with potential for
renewal.  We are ideally seeking 1 full time and 1 half time
conservator but short-term contracts are also possible.  Benefits of
working for the University include an incremental pay structure and
an excellent pension scheme.

For an informal discussion about the post you are welcome
to telephone Amber Rowe, the Centre's Head of
Conservation Services on: +44 2380 597116.

Salary in the range:  UKP16,286 - UKP24,479 per annum.
Academically-Related Grade 1/2 (pay award pending).
