Dear Colleagues,


I am sending the following message on behalf of Maria Fusco:


*The Textile Museum/The George Washington University Museum is seeking an
experienced Associate Conservator to add to our expanding department.  The
institution’s recent $5 million gift from the Avenir Foundation has allowed
the museum to equip new lab facilities as well as increase the conservation
department’s staffing.*



*The position has responsibility for exhibition preparation and maintenance
duties and in the re-housing of objects for storage.  The position also
undertakes or supervises Environmental Monitoring and/or Integrated Pest
Management.  The bulk of the collection is textile based and a foundation
in textiles is required.  However, the combined museums now hold smaller
paper as well as fine and decorative arts collections so familiarity with a
variety of mediums is an asset.  As an exhibition driven organization, a
strong background in preparation of exhibits through all their phases is
required.*



*Full details on the posting including how to apply can be found
at https://www.gwu.jobs/postings/40653
<https://www.gwu.jobs/postings/40653>**, posting #S006090.  Applications
