The Heritage Council and Trinity College Library are pleased to

in November 2014.

The successful candidate will work under the supervision of the
Library's Keeper of Preservation and Conservation and will be
involved in many aspects of the work carried out by the Department.
The internship will be based around the conservation of WW1 papers
held in the Library's special collections, as well as exhibition
preparation, and housing projects.  The intern will be encouraged to
carry out a short research project, which will be determined once
the internship has begun.

Candidates should be recent graduates (within two years) of a
recognised book or paper conservation training program or have
equivalent experience.  The applicant must be eligible to work in
Ireland, and should demonstrate an interest in conservation in
Ireland.

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

The deadline for applications is Friday 12 September 2014 and
interviews are expected to be held on 17 October 2014.  Candidates
should send a letter of interest addressed to the Keeper of
Preservation and Conservation, describing their conservation
training and practical experience and why they wish to take up this
internship.  They should also confirm their eligibility to work in
Ireland, and describe their interest in conservation in Ireland and
Trinity College Library in particular.
