Getty Fellowships in Heritage Conservation

The Getty Conservation Institute (GCI) has recently announced a new employment opportunity for emerging conservation professionals: GCI Professional Fellowships. Made possible through one-time funding, the Getty Conservation Institute is making available three Professional Fellowships, each of three-year duration, from June 2017 to May 2020. The successful candidates will work at the Getty Center in Los Angeles, California, USA. The GCI Professional Fellowships are designed to provide emerging practitioners with in-depth opportunities to build and strengthen their skills and experience as conservation professionals, while working under the guidance of experienced GCI staff. GCI Professional Fellows will participate in the ongoing work of the GCI as full members of the Getty's professional community. Professional development will be encouraged and assisted through participation in professional meetings, conferences, or workshops. Fellows' research outcomes will be disseminated through publications and conference presentations. The three fellowships available relate to the following areas:
