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.
