Fellowship at Historic Scotland

Fellowship in Engineering Conservation
Historic Scotland

Historic Scotland's Scottish Conservation Bureau in conjunction with
Heritage Engineering is offering a two-year Fellowship in
Engineering Conservation in Scotland.  Annual stipend is UKP14,500,
with an annual travel and study allowance of UKP1500. The Fellowship
will primarily be based in the workshops of Heritage Engineering in
Glasgow as well as on-site at various locations around the UK. The
Fellowship will also incorporate project placements with the
National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.

The programme provides a unique opportunity for those from a
recognised conservation background and/or tradesmen and women from
related fields to extend their existing skills to encompass the
specialist technique and understanding required for conservation and
restoration works to historic engineering. Applicants should be able
to demonstrate enthusiasm for engineering and a high level of craft
potential; a further key factor in the selection process is the
applicant's commitment to working in Scotland. Due to the
project-based nature of the work, a considerable degree of
travelling will be involved.

The Fellowship will start in February / March 2004.   Apply by
letter to the address below enclosing a Curriculum Vitae with the
names and addresses of two referees familiar with the applicant's
practical skills; applicants must also provide a separate 200-300
word statement of their interest in and commitment to conservation.
Closing date January 6, 2004.
