<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black">We are offering a three-year position as curatorial assistant at the Section of Amphibians and Reptiles of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History (Pittsburgh, PA) as part of as part of a National

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black">Primary duties will be to alleviate overcrowded conditions in specimen jars and tanks by rehousing portions of the collection, updating taxonomy within the collection and reorganize it to reflect
that taxonomy, assist with cataloguing a backlog of specimens, and work extensively to improve the database. The curatorial assistant will also digitize images of specimens, some within the main collection, and then some of those catalogued during the grant.
Paper records will be organized in the archives including field catalogs and select portions digitized and made available with the on-line databases of VertNet and iDigBio. There will be some supervision of work-study students and volunteers.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
