Position at CCAHA

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

The Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts, the regional
paper conservation laboratory located in Philadelphia, is seeking a
full-time paper conservator for its staff.  This position offers
potential for professional growth through varied and challenging
treatment.  The candidate should have demonstrated ability in the
treatment of both archival artifacts and works of art on paper.
Ability to work with peers as part of a team is essential, as is 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, write condition reports/treatment proposals,
advise clients, and occasionally travel to participate in field
service 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 one year additional experience.  Salary is commensurate with
experience.

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