POSITION OVERVIEW
The Head of Conservation (hereafter, HC) holds a senior strategic position in the Museum Division which encompasses Collections, Exhibitions & Education, and manages all conservation-related activities, staff, and contractors.

The HC is responsible for the physical integrity, overall care, and treatment of the collection of the 9/11 Museum. The 9/11 Museum’s holdings are diverse and include art and artifacts in a wide range of media, including metals, textiles, print and digital photographs, moving images, ephemera, and plastics. Some exhibit damage sustained on 9/11, which is a part of their historical and interpretive significance. Many objects in the collection are commemorative in nature. The collection also includes in-situ building elements of the World Trade Center and archeological fragments.

As leader of the conservation team under the Collections Department, the HC will have the opportunity to envision new strategies and refine existing methods for the long-term care of historic holdings that encompass complex practical, ethical, and philosophical conservation issues—some unique to a memorial museum that documents and presents evidence of a recent traumatic disaster. This role will also provide expertise to support acquisitions, loans, exhibitions, and other undertakings fundamental to the Museum’s operations, building on a strong culture of internal teamwork between Curatorial, Registration, Exhibitions, Education, and Buildings & Grounds colleagues.

The HC will be committed to researching the unique challenges of the collection and to the development of the Museum’s conservation staff. The HC will seek to advance scholarship about the care of memorial-focused collections and maintain the Museum’s leadership in this area, through publication and presentation of their own work and that of the conservation staff. This role requires a people-centered colleague able to collaborate across sectors of the institution, and confident when interacting with a variety of stakeholders from the diverse 9/11 community. These include donors, survivors, first responders and victims’ relatives. The HC will also communicate well with students and scholars, the broader public including Museum visitors, and the press as needed.

This is an exempt, full-time 40 hour/week position and work will take place during business hours. However, with advance notice, schedules sometimes may be adjusted to accommodate special projects which involve early morning or evening hours.
