We are seeking an experienced paper conservator to join Te Papa's
Conservation Team.  You will work alongside another paper
conservator and the wider Conservation Team that includes objects,
textiles, paintings and preventive conservators.

This role works with paper-based items from Te Papa's wide range of

even natural history collection items. You will support an active
programme of acquisitions, exhibitions, lending, touring and
collection care.

A recognised professional conservation qualification and at least
