Malta Centre for Restoration
Incorporating The Institute for Conservation and Restoration Studies

The MCR, which operates from spacious premises, is Malta's national
centre for conservation and restoration, providing diagnostic and
conservation laboratory services as well as degree programmes in
conservation studies. The Centre is an autonomous institution set up
as a partnership between the University of Malta and the Ministry of
Education of the Republic of Malta. Although largely financed by the
Maltese Government, during 1999-2000 it has also benefited from a
collaboration agreement, amongst others, with the Istituto Centrale
per il Restauro of Rome and financial assistance from the Government
of the Republic of Italy.

The MCR has vacancies for qualified and experienced conservators and
conservation scientists on a part and full-time basis.  The Centre
requires English speaking applicants with specialisation and
experience in any of the following:

    conservation and restoration of stone, metals, glass, ceramics,
    books, paper, textiles, and paintings (murals, panel and easel
    paintings and polychrome sculpture).

These conservators will be expected to carry out conservation and
restoration work under the direction of the MCR's Conservation and
Restoration Project Management Office as well as teaching duties
within the MCR's Institute for Conservation and Restoration Studies.

Remuneration is commensurate with qualifications, experience and
time-commitment.
