The Centre for Textile Conservation and Technical Art History at the
University of Glasgow wishes to appoint a Lecturer in Textile
Conservation.  With a strong commitment to teaching and research,
you will teach the theory and practice of textile conservation,
focusing on the practical work undertaken by second year students,
but also contributing to other teaching on the programme, as well as
PhD supervision.  You will also undertake high quality research in
textile conservation, securing funding for research projects and
publishing the results.  You should have substantial experience of
textile conservation practice.

The Centre was officially opened by the Princess Royal in February
2011. It offers a two year MPhil Textile Conservation programme
alongside a master's programme in Technical Art History. There are
also links with the MLitt Dress and Textile History.  The Centre is
based in History of Art, the highest rated history of art department
in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, and is launching a new
Research Network in Textile Conservation, Dress and Textile History
and Technical Art History, funded by the Getty Foundation.  This is
an exciting time to join our small team.
