In connection with the building of a new Maritime Museum, which will

yard in Elsinore, a new conservation post has been created at the
Danish Maritime Museum.

We are looking for a person with recognised qualifications in object
conservation. Understanding and experience of a wide range of
materials is expected. You must be able to work independently, as
well as part of a team, so enthusiasm and good interpersonal skills
is a must.

The main responsibilities will be condition assessment and
conservation of objects for the displays in the new museum,
documentation and condition reports of newly required objects.

You will refer to the Preventive Conservator, whom you will be
assisting in the packing and moving of objects between the old and
new museum and the stores. There will also be tasks related to
registration and loans and other general conservation activities.

We offer an exciting full time position at Kronborg Castle with the
possibility of influencing the work and developing new skills. This
is a unique chance of taking part in the creation of a brand new
museum in an untraditional environment. With a workforce of
currently 12 full time staff, we are striving towards becoming one
of Denmark's leading cultural history museums.

Closing date for applications: 25 August 2008
