Fellowship at Smithsonian Institution

2013-2014 Smithsonian Postgraduate Fellowships
    in Conservation of Museum Collections
Smithsonian's Museum Conservation Institute (MCI)

The Smithsonian's Office of Fellowships and Internships has
announced one-year fellowships for recent graduates of masters
programs in art and archaeological conservation or for conservation
scientists to conduct research and gain further training at the
Smithsonian in the conservation of items in its collections.  The
fellowship begins in the fall of 2013. A stipend of $35,000 is being
offered plus allowances. The prospective fellow must first contact
the conservator or scientist with whom he or she would like to work.
If the potential supervisor confirms that candidacy is suitable,
application must be made through the Office of Fellowships and
Internships. Program guidelines, instructions, cover sheets, and
letters for your referees are available at

    <URL:http://www.si.edu/ofg/Applications/CFELL/CFELLapp.htm>

The deadline is January 15, 2013.

As one of the conservation laboratories in which a fellowship is
offered, the Smithsonian's Museum Conservation Institute (MCI)
offers postings for treatment and research projects benefiting
Smithsonian collections that make use of MCI's excellent analytical
capabilities
