Internship in book and manuscript conservation
Trinity College Library, Dublin

The Heritage Council of Ireland and Trinity College Library are
pleased to offer a nine-month internship in book and manuscript
conservation. The internship will be based at Trinity College
Library and will begin in November 2011.

The successful candidate will work under the supervision of the
Library's Keeper of Preservation and Conservation and will be
involved in every aspect of work carried out in the Conservation
Laboratory. The internship will be based around the conservation of
books and manuscripts from the Library's special collections, as
well as exhibitions preparation, and housing projects. The intern
will be encouraged to carry out a short research project on an
aspect of the collection, the subject of which will be determined
once the internship has begun.

Candidates should be recent graduates of a recognised book or paper
conservation training program (or have equivalent experience). The
applicant should be able to work with a degree of independence.

Stipend: Euro20,000 (subject to normal PRSI and PAYE deductions)

The deadline for applications is Friday 9 September 2011 and
interviews will be held in early October. Candidates should send a
letter of interest, current curriculum vitae and the contact details
of two referees to:
