The Art Institute of Chicago is offering a 2 year advanced training fellowship in paper conservation beginning in the fall of 2017. The Fellow will be involved in a wide range of conservation activities including examination and treatment of works on paper scheduled for loan, acquisition and exhibition. The diversity of the Print and Drawing collections ranging from the 15th through 21st century provide a rich resource for conservation education. The Fellow will also participate in all daily activities of the conservation department including environmental monitoring, condition checks for incoming and outgoing objects and preventative maintenance of the collection. The successful candidate will be encouraged to focus on a research project that should culminate in a published paper or professional presentation.
The Fellow will receive an annual salary with an additional allowance for travel and research, plus benefits including health, dental and vacation leave. Candidates must have a Master’s degree in art conservation and at least one year of practical experience beyond graduation, or equivalent experience.
