The Courtauld Institute is offering a post to teach wall painting

conservation, and the successful candidate will be a member of the

professional conservation. Candidates should be able to teach
practical conservation, and have a good knowledge of painting and
conservation materials, and of conservation interventions. Ability
also to teach and supervise documentation and scientific examination
is highly desirable.

The teaching will provide a substantial contribution to the MA
course, and will include demonstration of conservation treatments,
supervision of practical sessions and of students' independent
practical work, and the conduct of seminars. In addition to these
general primary activities within the Department, the successful
candidate will share associated administrative duties, will serve as
a member of the Department's Board of Studies and Board of
Examiners, and will have principal responsibility for materials and
equipment.

All members of the teaching staff at the Institute are expected to
pursue and publish research, and the candidate will have the
opportunity to conduct research to the benefit of the Institute

The appointment is for a full-time post for up to 10 months.
However, we are flexible and can negotiate working periods to
accommodate other commitments, with pro rata salary adjustments made
accordingly, if necessary.

Institute, up to and including the grade of Senior Lecturer, are

teaching, research and administration as may be assigned to them by
the Director, and hours of work must satisfy these requirements. The

Public Holidays and 'University Days'. Unless terminated for other
reasons, the appointment may be held until 30 September in the
academic year in which the age of 65 is attained, but staff may opt
to retire on reaching the age of 60.

The appropriate occupational pension scheme is the Universities
