Conservation Center
Los Angeles County Museum of Art

The Conservation Center at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art is
seeking applications for a Andrew W. Mellon Fellowship in paper or
photographic conservation.   The fellowship is a full time position
for one year (with potential for renewal), and includes a stipend of
$32,000 per year plus benefits.  A $2,000 travel allowance for
study/research will be allocated at the discretion of the section
head and the Director of Conservation.

The fellowship will focus on the study, examination and treatment of
works of art in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of
Art. Successful candidates will gain considerable experience
treating works of art in well equipped, production-oriented
conservation laboratories. Conservation involvement in permanent
collection exhibitions and special exhibitions will enhance training
opportunities.  Successful candidates will have the opportunity to
participate in informal lectures, symposia, and workshops and to
visit and collaborate with nearby cultural institutions.  The
position is open until filled. Fellowship positions will be
available beginning July 2011.

Eligibility: Candidates will be considered who have graduated from a
recognized conservation training program, with a specialization in
paper/photographic conservation, or who have similar training or
experience.

following materials:

    A curriculum vitae including basic biographical information,
    current and permanent addresses and telephone numbers,
    education, and experience.

    A short statement of the candidate's interest and intent in
