The Organic Artefacts Conservation Section is one of four

Section meets the needs of the Museum. As Head of Section, you will
maintain high standards of conservation and mentor staff through
your practical work. You will contribute to research in the field of
organic materials conservation through internal and external
collaborations. By leading and encouraging the dissemination of the
work of the Section, you will enhance the reputation of the

staff, as well as being able to contribute to the broader strategic
issues of the Department and Museum. Excellent planning ability,
