Job Description
The conservators are responsible for preventative and remedial conservation programs, object documentation, the preparation of collection material for loans and exhibitions and ongoing improvements to collection storage systems. As a conservator on the new museum team, you will combine a “can do” attitude with the flexibility to tackle a wide variety of objects from across our natural and cultural collections. While we seek applicants with a broad range of conservation related skills and knowledge, applicants with experience in pest management and in the treatment of paper, textile, and/or natural history objects would be particularly well regarded.
