Last year, we welcomed 1.4 million visitors onsite and at offsite Museum programs. Exhibitions at the Museum offer enriching experiences that bring science, nature and culture to life. Seeing the "real thing" is what visitors remember long after their visit has ended - everything from real collections to real discoveries, like the Museum's largest-ever fossil excavation, The Snowmastodon Project, which is providing new scientific information about the evolution of life in the Rockies and beyond.</span><span style="font-size: 8.5pt; "><o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; "><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Times New Roman"><br></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); ">DMNS has a rare opportunity for a visionary scientist to provide leadership for the Museum to ensure quality scientific research, appropriate stewardship of collections and to support dynamic educational programming and exhibition content. Reporting to the CEO, the Vice President of Research & Collections is the top scientific executive in the institution. The VP will provide forward thinking leadership which will drive focus, efficiency and innovation, to ensure a robust scientific core that allows the Museum to be positioned for the future. The VP will play an active role in fundraising for museum projects and offering productive and long-lasting donor relationships. Additionally, the Vice President leads the Museum's public trust responsibilities by assuring legal accountability and long term preservation of collections. This individual will oversee an operating plan that incorporates annual and long-term goals, objectives and strategies for the branches of Earth & Space Sciences, Zoology & Health Sciences, Anthropology, and Preservation & Documentary Resources.</span><span style="font-size: 8.5pt; "><o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; "><b><u><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Times New Roman"><br></font></span></u></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Times New Roman"><b><u><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); ">Ideal Candidate</span></u></b><span style="font-size: 8.5pt; "><o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); ">Accomplishing this critically important task will require a PhD-holding scientist with a nationally recognized current or past research program.
