Clothworker's Foundation Fellowship - Paintings Conservation
Tate, London

Allowance: UKP22,000 pa, pro rata

The Clothworker's Foundation Fellowship is a remarkable opportunity
for a paintings conservator with some experience to develop and
broaden their knowledge by joining one of the leading conservation
teams in the museum world. The Fellowship runs for 16 weeks from
December 2011 - March 2012.

The successful person will be involved in learning and supporting
general conservation practice within a busy Gallery programme with
the primary focus on activities related to exhibition and display
programmes at Tate Britain.  The fellow will explore issues related
to the conservation and care of British art through technical
examination, documentation and minor treatment of artworks in the
Tate's care in preparation for display.  The Fellow will gain
experience in Tate procedures and systems, and learn about the
protection of artworks on display with involvement in related
preventive conservation activities and event planning.

You will hold a recognised qualification in the conservation of
paintings and demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of ethics
and reasoning behind treatment choices and conserving works to a
high standard. You will have excellent communications skills both
verbal and written and work well within a team environment.
