Position at Edinburgh University Library

Assistant Conservator
Special Collections and Archives Division
Edinburgh University Library

As a result of funding obtained from the Research Support Libraries
Programme (RSLP), we have a temporary full-time vacancy for a
suitably qualified conservator to undertake work on 2 RSLP funded
projects.  The post is tenable for 18 months in the first instance.

The two projects concerned are 'Navigational Aids for the History of
Science, Technology and the Environment' (NAHSTE) and 'The Drawn
Evidence: Scotland's Development Through its Architectural Archives
from Industrialisation to the Millennium, 1780 - 2000' (Rowand
Anderson Collection).  The latter project involves the conservation
of architectural drawings. Both projects are collaborative and some
degree of liaison with partner institutions is likely.

The postholder should have a recognised qualification in paper
conservation and have 2 years experience in a conservation
environment or other appropriate relevant experience.  Experience of
conservation methods for architectural drawings would be
advantageous.

The post is on the TDG salary scale  and the salary range is
UKP13,317- UKP15,899 per annum.  Placement will be dependent on
experience and qualifications.
