Position at British Museum

International Conservation Projects Co-ordinator
Department of Conservation and Scientific Research
The British Museum
London

UKP28,532 - UKP35,453 per annum

Fixed Term for 23 months

The British Museum <URL:http://www.britishmuseum.org> is recruiting
an International Conservation Projects Co-ordinator on a four year
contract to lead the development of the conservation elements of
this expanding programme. Recently the Museum has signed an
agreement with the Tourism Development and Investment Company, Abu
Dhabi to support them in the development of a new museum, the Zayed
National Museum. You will play a major role in developing and
providing all parts of the CSR contribution to this project. You
will also oversee the development of conservation and scientific
aspects of the Museum's African programmes as well as the many other
international activities of the Department.

You will be a fully qualified, experienced, practical conservator
who has developed a national and perhaps international reputation in
a specialist field. Your dynamism and leadership skills will be
illustrated by management roles you have held and your success in
these roles will reflect your excellent communication and
negotiation abilities. This post will test your established
organisational skills as you work with colleagues across the Museum
and beyond. It will also give you an opportunity to further extend
your history of outreach, both to the profession and wider
audiences. You will be comfortable and flexible in dealing with
different environments, people and situations, as might be expected
of an international programme.

This is a challenging new role in the Department, requiring
exceptional qualities, but providing exciting opportunities.
