The Denver Museum of Nature & Science seeks a Curator of Zoology

The Department of Zoology (DOZ) at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science
(DMNS) (www.dmns.org <http://www.dmns.org/> ) seeks a curator in the
area of vertebrate zoology or entomology. The successful candidate will
be an organismal biologist whose research focuses on the evolution of
vertebrates or arthropods, the evolutionary ecology of populations,
and/or the biodiversity of regional faunas. We seek candidates who have
field- and/or collections-based research experience. Previous museum
experience is preferred but not required; however, the successful
candidate must demonstrate an intellectual commitment to museum-based
research, the potential to use and add to DOZ collections, and a clear
vision of the role of museums in science education. The candidate must
have a Ph.D., a solid record of grant experience and peer-reviewed
publications, and a demonstrated interest in museums. The candidate will
be expected to develop an aspect of their research with a focus in the
Rocky Mountains / Great Plains ecoregion.

 

The successful candidate will demonstrate an understanding of informal
science education and an ability to clearly communicate
science-in-the-news to the general public. Enthusiasm for working with
museum volunteers, fellow curators, and interdisciplinary project and
exhibit teams is essential.

 

Applications  must be received via email  to Zoology.Search at dmns.org by
1 March 2006 and include cover letter, curriculum vita, statement of
research interests, statement of outreach experience, and three letters
of recommendation. EOE
