The Brooklyn Museum

The Brooklyn Museum announces the opening of two Fellowships in
conservation supported by a permanent endowment established by the
Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, to establish a permanent endowment to
support fellowships in conservation.   The two year fellowships,
with the possibility of a third year, will be offered in either
object, paper, or painting conservation beginning September 2011.

The Brooklyn Museum's collection and exhibition schedule offer
varied and rewarding educational experiences in conservation.
Fellows will be immediately involved in all aspects of the
department, working with a diverse professional conservation staff,
and interacting with colleagues throughout the institution to
preserve and present art work.

Successful candidates should be graduates of a conservation training
program or have equivalent experience.  Applications should include
a letter of interest, resume, and two letters of recommendation from
conservation professionals, along with two detailed conservation
condition reports, accompanying  treatment proposals and treatment
report with full documentation, all carried out completely by the
applicant, all in hard copy.  After initial review, selected
applicants will be invited for an interview and portfolio review at
the Museum.

The Museum should receive applications no later than January 1,
2011. Candidates will be selected for interviews in January-
February 2011, and the final selection awarded in March 2011.

The starting salary is $33,000 / year with full Museum benefits,
including annual leave and medical benefits, and a travel allowance
