Internships at Agora excavations

Archaeological Conservation Summer Internships (2 internships)
Agora Excavations
American School of Classical Studies at Athens

The Conservation Lab of the Agora Excavations is offering 2
archaeological conservation internships for the 2012 summer
excavations.

The internships will give students an opportunity to treat freshly
excavated archaeological finds and to participate in an active
on-site conservation laboratory. An introduction to the
re-treatment, preventive and long-term care of archaeological
collections will also be provided.  For more information about the
excavations please visit the Agora Excavations' website on
<URL:http://www.agathe.gr> and the website of the American School of
Classical Studies at Athens on <URL:http://www.ascsa.edu.gr>

Applicants must currently be enrolled in a graduate or equivalent
conservation program. Successful candidates enrolled in North
American programs and American citizens enrolled in foreign programs
may be eligible for funding from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation.
Interns who do not qualify for or do not receive a Kress award are
required to provide their own funding. All successful candidates are
responsible for arranging their own accommodation and are required
to obtain their own medical insurance for the duration of their
internship.

Applications must include: a signed letter of interest, a curriculum
vitae, and two letters of reference. Internships may vary in length
from 6 to 9 weeks and are undertaken from early June to early
August. Applicants should indicate in their letter their approximate
preferred dates within this time frame. Referees are requested to
write letters of recommendation on letterhead and give a signed copy
in a sealed envelope to the applicant. All application materials
should be sent as hard copies, together in a single envelope, to the
address below. Received applications will be acknowledged by email.

Application deadline:  Monday 19 December 2011
