Paintings Conservator

    Applications are invited for the post of Conservator in the
    Courtauld Institute Gallery.

    The Courtauld Institute Gallery has a permanent collection of
    paintings and a rapidly developing exhibitions policy.  A
    paintings conservator is sought who will take responsibility for
    all aspects of collections care, loans and exhibitions,
    co-ordinating picture movements as well as the
    conservation-restoration of paintings in the collection.  A
    limited but clearly defined specialist contribution to teaching
    will be required.

    You will need very good organisational skills, the ability to
    liaise with curators, registrars, picture handlers, academic
    staff and students.  Excellent conservation-restoration skill is
    a prerequisite, but it is anticipated that individual treatments
    will not account for more than half of your time.

    You must have a recognised postgraduate qualification in
    paintings conservation and at least seven years' experience.

    The conservator will be located in the Department of
    Conservation and Technology and will work closely with the
    Senior Curator and the Director of the Department.

    Salary: in the range UKP24,325-UKP35,813 (including London
    Weighting).

    Further details and an application form are available from
    Vanessa Green, Executive Assistant on +44 20 7848 1881 or at
    <URL:http://www.courtauld.ac.uk>

    Closing date for applications: June 30, 2003. Interviews will be
    held during the week of July 21, 2003
