[Matt Lowe]

Collections Assistant

 

The University Museum of Zoology, Cambridge (UK) is inviting applications
for a full-time Collections Assistant to assist in the maintenance and
organisation of the collections following the Museum's recent transformative
redevelopment. Collections still in nearby storage in the need to be
assessed, processed and brought back to the museum stores.

 

This work will uncover new untold stories behind these "hidden" collections,
enabling the Museum team to communicate to the public the nature of working
behind the scenes, the thrill of new discoveries, and the specific
challenges of zoological collections. Our goal is to ensure that the
collections are both appropriately stored and made physically and
intellectually accessible: to researchers, students, stakeholders and
audiences in Cambridge and worldwide.

 

You will have experience working with museum collections, good oral and
written communication skills, demonstrable IT proficiency and good manual
dexterity for object handling.

 

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for up to 12 months. 

Closing date for applications is the 15th March.
