Internship at LACMA

Camilla Chandler Frost Summer Internship Program - 2004
Los Angeles County Museum of Art
Conservation Center

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art Conservation Center is offering
two internships for summer study in one or more of the three
sections of Conservation: Paintings. Works of Art on Paper, and
Objects.

Description:  The Camilla Chandler Frost Conservation Internship
Program Endowment provides funding for travel from a conservation
student's school and a stipend while working at the Los Angeles
County Museum of Art.  This year's stipend is $320 per week. ($2560
for eight weeks, $3,200 for ten weeks or $3,840 for twelve weeks.)
The stipend is intended to pay for food and lodging.  A travel
allowance, not to exceed $1,000, is provided to reimburse the
student for round trip travel from the graduate school location to
Los Angeles and to offset some local transportation costs.

Term: The internship will run for eight to twelve weeks depending
upon the agreement between the student and the Director of
Conservation.

Eligibility: To be eligible for the Camilla Chandler Frost Summer
Internship Program, a candidate must be enrolled full time in a
recognized graduate school conservation program and must
successfully complete the museum's employment application and
background check performed by LACMA's Human Resources Department.
The Conservation Department receives very few J-1 Visas;
international students should be aware of this limitation.

Application Procedure: Interested candidates should submit the
following materials in English:  curriculum vitae, a letter of
interest in the particular project(s) offered and two supporting
letters from conservation professionals or teachers familiar with
the student's work.

Materials should be postmarked no later than March 1, 2004 and sent
to:

    Adam Kaplan
    Human Resources Manager
