NEA Advanced Internship
Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC)

The Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC), located in
Andover, Massachusetts, 25 miles north of Boston, is offering a
one-year advanced internship in its book conservation laboratory.
The position will be supported by a grant from the National
Endowment for the Arts.  The internship offers an opportunity to
spend a concentrated amount of time at the bench in a spacious
laboratory with highly skilled and friendly colleagues.  The
successful candidate will treat a variety of bound materials
including manuscripts, atlases, and printed volumes.  The intern
will also participate in outreach activities such as workshops and
surveys.  The position begins in September 2006.

In addition to bench skills, good written and oral communication
skills are important.  Applicants must have successfully completed a
degree from a graduate level conservation training program or have
comparable training and experience.  Persons who are not U.S.
citizens must have permanent legal residency.
