Paper Conservator/Senior Conservator
Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts (CCAHA)

The Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts (CCAHA), the
regional paper conservation laboratory located in Philadelphia, PA,
is seeking a paper conservator with the ability to treat a broad

growth through varied and challenging treatment.  The candidate
should be comfortable with the demands of treating both fine art and
archival artifacts.

the ability to plan and structure one's own treatments according to
a schedule.  The Conservator will work with clients in accessioning
objects for treatment, writing condition reports/treatment
proposals, advising clients, and occasionally traveling to
participate in collection surveys, on-site projects, and workshops.

The candidate should be a graduate of a recognized conservation
training program or have equivalent apprenticeship training, with at
least two to five years additional experience, including some
supervisory responsibilities.  Salary is commensurate with
experience.

Interested applicants should send resume, three sample treatment
reports, and three professional references to:
