Cornell University Museum of Vertebrates</a> (CUMV) is seeking an ichthyologist or herpetologist to curate and grow the collections through an organized program of accession involving Cornell students in all aspects of museum-based activities. We are interested
in a leader for all aspects of the program, from field collections through specimen preparation and curation, to use of the collections in modern specimen-based research. The successful candidate will curate the Ichthyology and Herpetology Collections (with
the collaboration of a full-time collections manager) and maintain an active research program in collections-based research.
