<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 8pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;font-weight:bold"><span style="font-weight:normal">The College of Earth
and Mineral Sciences (EMS) at Penn State’s University Park campus is seeking a
Director who will promote the mission of the EMS Museum and Gallery, namely “to
preserve and promote the diverse collections of Penn State’s College of Earth
& Mineral Sciences by serving as an informed resource for science and art
education.” The EMS museum possesses a world-class collection of mineral and
rock specimens, original artwork of historic significance (including the
noteworthy Steidle Collection of American Industrial Art), and significant
collections of fossils, ceramics, glass, and artifacts of science and industry.
The museum is currently in the process of applying for accreditation from the
American Alliance of Museums. The responsibilities for this position include:
oversight of the collections; development of exhibits that reflect the
expertise and research innovations of the College’s five departments and three
institutes; writing and managing successful grant proposals to develop and care
for the collections, exhibits, and technical projects; partnering with the
Office of Development to coordinate development and revenue-generating
activities to foster the museum’s growth; supervision of museum staff and
volunteers; maintaining up-to-date web content; participation in the teaching
and research mission of the College; creation of K-12 educational materials and
programs; and community outreach. The directorship is a fixed-term multiyear
academic position open to all ranks, with excellent prospects for renewal
beyond the initial appointment. The Director is expected to hold a terminal
degree appropriate for their field of expertise at the time of appointment.
Faculty appointment in one of the College’s academic departments (Geosciences,
Geography, Meteorology and Atmospheric Science, Materials Science and
Engineering, Energy and Mineral Engineering) is possible. To apply, please
upload a cover letter and concise vision statement for the EMS Museum and
Gallery, a curriculum vitae, and the names and contact information of at least
three referees. We will begin reviewing applications December 1, 2018 and will continue
to receive and review applications until the position is filled. For additional
information on the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences go to <a href="http://www.ems.psu.edu">www.ems.psu.edu</a>.
Applicants should provide evidence, either woven through their application
materials or as a separate diversity statement, of a commitment to fostering
excellence in diversity and equity as well as engagement in creating an
inclusive workplace environment. <span></span></span></p>
