The Smithsonian's Office of Fellowships has announced one-year fellowships for recent graduates of masters programs in art and archaeological conservation or for conservation scientists to conduct research and gain further training at the Smithsonian in the conservation of objects in its collections. The fellowship begins in the fall of 2010. A stipend of $32,000 is being offered plus allowances. The prospective fellow must first contact the conservator or scientist with whom he or she would like to work. If the potential supervisor confirms that candidacy is suitable, application must be made through the Office of Fellowships. Program guidelines, instructions, cover sheets, and letters for your referees are available on the Office of Fellowships' web site (http://www.si.edu/ofg/fell.htm). The deadline is January 15, 2010.
As one of the conservation laboratories in which a fellowship is offered, the Smithsonian's Museum Conservation Institute (MCI) offers postings for treatment of Smithsonian material and research projects that make use of MCI's excellent analytical capabilities (http://www/si.edu/mci/). Contact:
