Fellowship at Walters Art Museum

Mellon Fellowship in Paintings Conservation
The Walters Art Museum

The Walters Art Museum is accepting applications for the Andrew W.
Mellon Fellowship in Paintings Conservation to begin January 2002.
The fellowship period extends one calendar year and is renewable for
a second. While at the museum, the Fellow will work on the Walters
diverse collection of paintings, ranging from Italian Renaissance
panels to late nineteenth century canvases. Fellows will serve as an
active staff member of the Division of Conservation and Technical
Research and will participate fully within that division.
Conservation treatments are selected based upon the Fellow's
experience and interests, as well as museum priorities. A research
project related to the Walters collection and culminating in a
publishable paper, also will be an important component of the
fellowship. Salary for the first year will be $ 26,000 plus a
generous benefits package and a research/travel allowance of $
3,350.

Candidates should be graduates of a recognized conservation graduate
program or have equivalent experience. Applicants are invited to
submit a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, and two letters of
recommendation to:

    Terry Drayman-Weisser
    Director of Conservation and Technical Research
    The Walters Art Museum
    600 North Charles Street
    Baltimore, MD 21201

An EEO/AA employer.  An alcohol and drug-free environment. Deadline
for applications is March 30, 2002.
