Conservation and Scientific Research Fellowships are offered to applicants working on projects related to the conservation of paintings, paper, objects (including sculpture, metalwork, glass, ceramics, furniture, and archaeological objects), textiles, and musical instruments. Fellowships are also offered in the scientific research department to cooperate with conservators and curators to study, preserve, and conserve the works in the Museum’s collections, and also pursue innovative research in analytical techniques, preventive conservation, and treatment methodologies. These fellowships provide practical training and hands-on treatment of works of art for junior fellows that have completed graduate-level training. Senior fellowships are intended for well-established professionals with at least eight years of experience in the field and a proven publication record, or those who have their PhD in hand by the deadline date.
The deadline for conservation and scientific research fellowships is December 5, 2014.
All fellowships must take place between September 1, 2015 and August 31, 2016. The stipend amount for one year is $42,000 for senior conservators/scientific researchers and $32,000 for junior conservators/scientific researchers, with up to an additional $6,000 for travel and miscellaneous expenses.
