Fellowship at Menil Collection

Samuel H. Kress Fellowship in Paper Conservation
The Menil Collection, Houston, Texas

The Menil Collection is pleased to offer a one-year advanced
fellowship in paper conservation supported by a grant from the
Samuel H. Kress Foundation. The fellowship will provide an
opportunity for participation in all departmental activities
associated with a diverse and distinguished collection of 20th
century and contemporary art, including drawings, photographs and
prints. The fellow will also contribute to the development of the
conservation component of the Menil Drawing Institute and Study
Center, established in 2008 and dedicated to the collection,
exhibition and study of modernist drawing. As an integral part of
the department, the candidate must have an interest in the variety
of issues associated with the study, documentation, and care of such
a collection.

The fellowship will commence in the fall of 2010. Compensation will
include a stipend and all benefits granted to full-time employees of
the Menil. Candidates should be recent graduates of a recognized
training program or have equivalent experience and they should have
excellent communication skills. Applications should include a
curriculum vitae with e-mail address and telephone number(s), a
letter of intent, and the names and contact information for three
professional references. Initial interviews will commence the week
of May 10 and will take place at the AIC annual meeting in
Milwaukee, when possible. Please address applications to
