The Natural History Museum of Denmark is seeking 2 experienced natural history conservators to join the Conservation Unit and assist with the preparation of objects for the new permanent galleries. The position is available from November 1st, 2024, or soon thereafter. Currently the position is funded for a 2-year period, with the possibility of extension.
The main role of the conservators is to assist the Conservation Unit with planning and undertaking varied object treatments, packing, transport and installation of the many new exhibitions for the new museum project.
About Us
The Natural History Museum of Denmark is the national museum for nature and contains more than 14 million objects of preserved animals, plants, fossils and minerals. Natural history museums have never been more important for monitoring the impact of climate change and the direct human threat to plant and animal life.
We are currently building a new Danish national museum for nature. One big museum site in the Botanical Garden at the center of Copenhagen will host state-of-the-art laboratories, outstanding research collections, new public galleries, and combined facilities for programming, education, and citizen science. Over the next few years, the museum aims to change the way people think about and use natural history museums.
Primary focus of the Conservation Unit will be to conserve, prepare and install various objects for the new public galleries which are currently being developed in connection with the build of a new national Natural History Museum. Currently, seven exhibition core groups are developing the content of the new permanent galleries, which are planned to open to the public at the end of 2026. The objects to be prepared for the new exhibits include mainly specimens from the museum’s vast historic collections but will also include preparations of new acquisitions. The exhibitions will cover all areas of geology, botany and zoology.
