Hello, I wanted to share two fellowship opportunities at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), with all of you. The positions are for an Objects Fellow and a Paintings Fellow, with their descriptions/info found below:
The Conservation Center at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art is seeking applications for Andrew W. Mellon Fellowships in paintings conservation as well as in objects conservation. The fellowships are full time positions and include an annual salary plus health benefits. Also, a 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 conservation laboratories. Conservation involvement in permanent collection exhibitions and special exhibitions will enhance training opportunities. Successful candidates will have the opportunity to participate in informal lectures, symposia, and workshops and to visit and collaborate with nearby cultural institutions. With proper training, the Conservation Fellow may act as courier for works of art on loan or exhibition to other museums and institutions. Candidates will be considered who have graduated from a recognized conservation training program with a specialization in paintings/objects conservation. Interested candidates must submit the following: - A job application, through the *correct link* below. - A curriculum vitae including basic biographical information, current and permanent addresses and telephone numbers, education, and experience. - A short statement of the candidate's interest and intent in applying for the fellowship. - Letters of recommendation from three professional references.
