RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP

JANUARY 1,1996 - DECEMBER 31,1996

The Indiana University Art Museum, Bloomington, Indiana, is offering a one-
year scientific research fellowship in the Conservation Department supported
by the National Park Service and the National Center for Preservation
Technology and Training. The appointment dates are January 1, 1996, through
December 31, 1996. The fellowship includes a stipend of $20,000, plus
benefits. The fellowship will be dedicated primarily to the scientific
investigation into the effects on museum artifacts of contamination with
diethylaminoethanol (DEAE), a widely used anticorrosion boiler additive and
will focus mainly on the UniversityUs painting collection. The expected
results are a clarification of the effects of DEAE and a determination of
whether DEAE can be removed from varnish or paint surfaces using conventional
solvent systems. Candidates should have a graduate degree in one of the
sciences with a solid background in organic chemistry, analytical
instrumentation, and microscopy and a strong interest in art conservation.
Candidates must submit transcripts of both undergraduate and graduate
coursework (unofficial copies are acceptable), a curriculum vitae, offprints
of any publications and lectures, a short statement of the candidateUs
interest and intent in applying for the fellowship, and a list of at least
four references. Finalists for the fellowship will be invited for an
interview. The information requested should be sent to Indiana University Art
Museum, Bloomington, In  47405,  Attn. Margaret Contompasis. The application
deadline is November 30, 1995. Indiana University is an equal opportunity
employer.
