About the role

The Andrew W. Mellon Fellow at Los Angeles County Museum of Art Conservation Center will examine and treat works of art on paper, photographs, books, and archival materials while supporting preventive conservation, exhibitions, and loans. The fellowship includes training, research opportunities, and a stipend for research and travel, awarded at the Director of Conservation’s discretion. This one-year position in Los Angeles offers a stipend-for-research framework, with potential renewal.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
