Internships at British Library

British Library Conservation Funded Internships - 2011/12

The British Library is pleased to offer two funded internships,
concentrating on book and paper conservation. The internships are
funded by the Garfield Weston Foundation and the Headley Trust and
will run between November 2011 and October 2012.

The internships are available to conservators who have limited work
experience in conservation and who wish to develop their practical,
hands-on conservation skills in one of the greatest research
libraries in the world. The successful candidates will have a book
or paper conservation qualification(s) (an MA in conservation would
be desirable) and will be selected on the basis of conservation
knowledge in relation to the projects available. Candidates will
also need to give examples of how they meet the essential criteria
for the internship.

Each internship has a bursary of UKP17k. The bursary will be paid on
a monthly basis and is subject to tax. The internships are open to
those who have the right to live and work in the UK.

The closing date for applications is Friday 30 September 2011 and
interviews will be held week commencing 10 October 2011.
