Fellowship at Tate

Frames Conservation Fellowship
Tate

Allowance: UKP22,000 pa

The Fellowship will be an eight month placement within our Frames
Conservation Section which is responsible for the technical
investigation, conservation and restoration of works of art in the
Tate> '> s Collection and in its care. This is a great opportunity
for a conservator to develop and broaden their knowledge of
collection care by working in a highly specialised team in a major
art institution.

The Fellow will have the opportunity to undertake a major treatment
and research-based project on frames from the Collection. It will be
in an area of specific interest, agreed with the Section at the
start of the Fellowship and regularly reviewed.  In addition there
will be the potential to plan for involvement in a wide range of
conservation activities and museum practice.

If short listed for an interview, candidates will be required to
prepare their project proposal which will form the main element of
their Fellowship.

Time and UKP800 have been allocated for study and travel to visit
other workshops, galleries, attendance at relevant conferences and
courses.

You will hold a recognised qualification in frames conservation or
equivalent training with proven post training experience and
demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of ethics and reasoning
behind treatment choices and conserving works to a high standard.
You will have excellent communications skills both verbal and
written and work well within a team environment.
