[Nhcoll-l] Looking for a traineeship place - taxidermy conservator

[Eleri Paatsi]

Hello All,

I am in search of a taxidermy or natural history collection conservator who
is willing to be my mentor.

I got Erasmus+ scholarship
<https://erasmus-plus.ec.europa.eu/opportunities/individuals/students/traineeship-student>
 for recent graduate traineeship for 4 months period (last opportunity for
me to carry out the internship with full funding is from *beginning of
February until the end of May*) But I am also up for a shorter period.

Traineeship must be carried out in one of the EU member countries, incl.
Iceland, Norway, Turkey, Liechtenstein, North Macedonia, Serbia, United
Kingdom

I graduated summer of 2021 with a Bachelor degree in Estonian Academy of
Arts in the Cultural Heritage and Conservation department. My speciality
was taxidermy conservation and my thesis was about fish mounts
conservation. Therefore, I worked the whole year in the Estonian Museum of
Natural History. My work with the fish mounts collection was nominated for
the Estonian Museum Awards 2021 in the conservation category. Results will
be published on 28th of January.

Attached you can find a poster about my bachelor's thesis, my portfolio and
my curriculum vitae.

I am eager to learn more practical skills that are needed in
natural history collections conservation as in Estonia there are no
specialised conservators who could guide me more in the field. I have
several years of experience living abroad and I am really adaptable in new
conditions. My daily working language is English, hence, I do not have
problems in international communication. At the end of January I will have
my booster dose of Pfizer vaccine in case local restrictions require it for
working.

I am open to all the offers and contacts.

Kind regards,
Eleri Paatsi
