<br><br>The St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm houses one of the best dinosaur track sites in the world. We are located in St. George, southwestern Utah, and have approximately 40,000 annual visitors, many of whom come to our museum as part of their travels to nearby National Parks such as Zion and the Grand Canyon.<br><br>Our museum is young and actively growing. We have a small staff and so the director is responsible for almost all aspects of museum operation. This position is a combination of many different duties and skills. The main components of the position are administration and management, and purchasing gift shop inventory. Other duties include marketing, public relations, human resources, arranging group tours, maintaining the web page and social media accounts, applying for grants, event planning, and community outreach. The director also develops and produces new exhibits one to two times per year in collaboration with our site paleontologist and a consulting paleontologist from the local Dixie State University. Daily duties vary greatly and require being a “jack-of-all-trades”. The director must be efficient at multi-tasking and problem solving, whether the problems are solved with a wrench or a business meeting.<br><br>Position is full-time and is supervised by a board of directors. Bachelor’s degree required; Masters or Ph.D. strongly preferred. The desired candidate will have museum experience and management experience. History of paleontology museum experience preferred. This is not a paleontology research position, but a director with paleontology experience will have a great advantage when designing paleontology exhibits and outreach programs.<br><br>To apply, email the following items to <a href="mailto:tracksofdinos@gmail.com">tracksofdinos@gmail.com</a>: 1) A cover letter explaining your qualifications for the position, detailing your experience with the wide variety of duties listed in the job description. 2) Your resume. 3) The names and contact information for three professional references.<br><br>For questions about the position, please email our current director, Dr. Liz Freedman Fowler, at <a href="mailto:tracksofdinos@gmail.com">tracksofdinos@gmail.com</a> or call 435-574-3466 x1.<p class=""><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></p><p class=""><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Full Job Description:</font></p><p class=""><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:
