Fellowships at Harvard

Fellowships in Conservation, 2011 - 2012
Straus Center for Conservation and Technical Studies
Harvard Art Museums

The Harvard Art Museums, Straus Center for Conservation and
Technical Studies offers three fellowships beginning September 1,
2011 and ending June 30, 2012.  Fellowships are divided among the
three laboratories: objects and sculpture conservation, paintings
conservation, and paper conservation.  The Fellow will conduct
research and perform treatment on works of art in the Museums'
collections.  Please note that during this period, the Museums are
undergoing renovation and the labs are located at our new off-site
facility in Somerville, MA.

The current pay rate is $1,200 bi-weekly and a modest
travel/research allowance is provided. Fellows are eligible for
Harvard University benefits, including contributory dental and
health insurance and access to University resources.

conservation training program (master's degree) or have equivalent
experience; have a proven record of treatment and research; and
