The New York Landmarks Preservation Foundation, in conjunction with the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, is pleased to announce a fellowship position for Summer 2011. This paid fellowship is open to graduate degree candidates in historic preservation, architecture, architectural history or a related field, and is an eight-week position at the Landmarks Preservation Commission.

The Fellow will have the opportunity to learn about all aspects of the Commission’s work, including: regulation, enforcement, designation, community outreach, and public relations. Specific responsibilities will depend upon the Commission’s workload, but will focus on the regulatory work of the Commission with a particular concentration on the consideration of future rules. Candidates with strong measured drawing skills are especially encouraged to apply.

The fellowship pays $4,000, commences in June, and requires a commitment of 35 hours per week.
