Position at Olin Conservation, Inc.

Paintings / Mural Conservator
Olin Conservation, Inc.

Olin Conservation, Inc. is a private conservation firm, established
in the 1960s to treat easel and wall paintings.  Our main studio is
located in the Washington, DC Metropolitan region.

We are considering the shared benefits and mutual opportunity of
bringing a Paintings / Murals Conservator on to join our team with
two specific, on site projects: These projects involve wall and
ceiling murals.  Each project entails full treatment of a large
design area, painted directly onto non-fabric, architectural
supports.  Both present interesting and exciting challenges with
respect to sample study, stabilization, cleaning and logistical
organization.

The projects will require security clearance, safety training and
work from scaffold.  The project terms are scheduled over six
months, the first is tentatively scheduled to begin mid-June 2016,
the second to terminate at the end of December 2016.  There is the
possibility of additional terms, on additional projects, after
December 2016.

We are seeking an experienced candidate with at least ten years,
post graduate experience.  To advance beyond a mandatory six week
review period, the candidate must exhibit dexterity and an awareness
of the interaction each process has with the original materials.
They must also exhibit thoughtful initiative.  To excel with the
team, the candidate must be able to assist with and understand the
importance of analysis and to meaningfully work with other senior
staff as they contribute to the development of consolidation
processes and cleaning systems as each are specifically developed
based on analysis results and field testing.  The applicant must be
able to legally work in the U.S. and provide for their own housing
in the Washington, DC area.

Applicants may send a letter of interest to David L. Olin
