Posting on behalf of the Textile Museum/The George Washington University Museum:

The Textile Museum/The George Washington University Museum is seeking an experienced Associate Conservator.  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 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 also an asset.

Full details on the posting can be found at https://www.gwu.jobs/postings/36000, posting #S005583.  The position will remain open until filled and applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
