The Conservation Center at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art is
seeking applications for an Andrew W. Mellon Fellowship in objects
conservation.  The fellowship is a one-year position beginning July

position and includes an annual salary of $41,600 per year plus
health benefits.  A $2,000 travel allowance for study/research will
be allocated at the discretion of the section head and the Director
of Conservation.

The fellowship will focus on the study, examination and treatment of
works of art in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of
Art.  Successful candidates will gain considerable experience
treating works of art in well equipped, production-oriented

collection exhibitions and special exhibitions will enhance training
opportunities.  Successful candidates will have the opportunity to
