    Asian Art Museum of San Francisco

    The Asian Art Museum, a premier San Francisco institution, is one of
    the largest museums in the Western world devoted exclusively to
    Asian art. The museum’s magnificent and priceless collection of more
    than 17,000 objects, including paintings, sculpture, ceramics,
    bronzes, jades, and textiles, exemplifies the artistic
    accomplishments of countries and cultures throughout Asia. In 2003
    the museum relocated to an historic Civic Center building which
    underwent a multi-million dollar renovation to become the Asian Art
    Museum’s spectacular new home.

    * The museum began recruiting for a Head of Conservation in
    2006 but placed the recruitment on temporary hold while
    pursuing a Mellon Grant to fund conservation efforts. This
    $1.5M grant has now been received, allowing for a
    conservation endowment of $2.5M.

    The Asian Art Museum is seeking an experienced conservator with
    strong managerial, leadership, and communication skills to supervise
    and coordinate the staff and operations of the Conservation
    Laboratory for this world-renowned collection.

    Reporting to the Director of Museum Services, the Head of
    Conservation directs and manages the staff and activities of the

    conservation work, including examination, research, treatment,

    of the department, and serves as the museum’s chief spokesperson on
    conservation issues.

    within the museum, in exhibitions, and on loan; devises restoration
    and preservation methods and techniques; consults with curators,
    scientists, and external conservators; liaises with outside
    specialists such as painting mounters and framers; and provides
    information on conservation matters to museum staff, colleagues and
    the public.

    The ideal candidate will have a significant record of professional
    accomplishments that may also include publishing and research.
    Bringing energy and vision, the candidate will be able to anticipate
    the future needs of the institution and to design effective systems
    for meeting the museum’s obligations with regard to the care and
    preservation of the collection.
