Fellowships at Yale

Conservation Fellowships (2 positions)
Yale University Art Gallery

The Conservation Department of the Yale University Art Gallery is
pleased to offer two Postgraduate Conservation Fellowships; one in
the conservation of objects and one in the conservation of
paintings.  These will be full-time, one-year positions starting in
September 2015, with a possibility of a one-year extension.  Each
Fellow will examine, research, and treat works from the Gallery's
extensive and encyclopedic collections.  Working with curators,
registrars, art-handlers, among others, each Fellow will also
participate in a wide range of activities at the Gallery including
installations, loans, and preventive care.  Each Fellow is expected
to carry out a research project culminating in a presentation or
publishable paper.  The successful candidates will have the
opportunity to work with research scientists in Yale's Institute for
the Preservation of Cultural Heritage, as well as conservators from
other Yale institutions.  Yale University's resources at large will
also contribute to and enhance this Fellowship.

Each Fellowship includes a stipend of $36,000, health insurance, and
$3,000 for travel and research funding.  The applicant should be a
graduate of a recognized conservation training program or have
equivalent training.  Fluency in English language and demonstrated
visual, manual, research, documentation, and writing abilities are
required.

Closing date for applications: 6 January 2015.  Interviews will be
held in early February 2015.

Applications, including a cover letter, CV, and contact details of
two referees, should be addressed to:
