Mellon Fellow in the Conservation of Paintings
The Balboa Art Conservation Center (BACC), an active regional conservation
center located in San Diego, CA, is offering a one-year post graduate Mellon
Fellowship in the conservation of paintings. Fellows will work with a wide
variety of collection types performing conservation services in
examination, treatment, analysis, and on-site surveys. BACC’s Painting
Conservation department is currently staffed by a Chief Conservator and two
Assistant Conservators with part-time support of a conservation technician.
BACC is an active, nonprofit, regional conservation center located in the
heart of the beautiful and historic Balboa Park. The Park is home to a
campus of cultural institutions such as the San Diego Museum of Art, Timken
Museum of Art, and San Diego History Center. Since its founding in 1975,
BACC has been devoted to the preservation of material culture held in both
public and private collections. The Center’s services cover a wide spectrum
including the formulation and implementation of treatments for paintings,
frames, and paper artifacts, technical examinations using microscopy,
infrared reflectography, and x-radiography, preventive conservation
assistance, and environmental, general, and collection specific surveys.
Types of artifacts treated by BACC reflect the broad range of collections
served and are of all periods and constructed with a broad array of
materials. As the Center offers internships and fellowships on a regular
basis, the working environment emphasizes an atmosphere of learning,
collegiality, and cooperation.
Position requirements include a Master’s Degree from an accredited
conservation program or its equivalent in the conservation of paintings,
excellent writing ability, and good communication and interpersonal
skills. Applicants
should be recent graduates of recognized conservation training programs.
The stipend is based upon a salary of $33,000 plus benefits, with four
weeks of research leave, and a $1,500 travel allowance in support of
approved study projects. The fellowship is scheduled to begin in September
2018. Interested applicants should apply in writing with a resume, three
letters of recommendation, and three examples of treatment experience.
