Assistant Conservator
Special Collections and Archives Division
As a result of funding obtained from the Research Support Libraries
Programme (RSLP), we have a temporary full-time vacancy for a suitably
qualified conservator to undertake work on 2 RSLP funded projects. The
post is tenable for 18 months in the first instance.
The two projects concerned are 'Navigational Aids for the History of
Science, Technology and the Environment' (NAHSTE) and 'The Drawn
Evidence:Scotland's Development Through its Architectural Archives from
Industrialisation to the Millennium, 1780 - 2000' (Rowand Anderson
Collection). The latter project involves the conservation of
architectural drawings. Both projects are collaborative and some degree of
liaison with partner institutions is likely.
The postholder should have a recognised qualification in paper
conservation and have 2 years experience in a conservation environment or
other appropriate relevant experience. Experience of conservation methods
for architectural drawings would be advantageous.
The post is on the TDG salary scale and the salary range is £13,317-
£15,899 per annum. Placement will be dependent on experience and
qualifications.
