<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#707070">The Florida Biodiversity Collection at the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute seeks a Manager for the Marine Invertebrate Collection. The strengths of the collection include Annelida,
Arthropoda, Echinodermata, and Mollusca, with geographic coverage primarily in and around State waters of Florida, the Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean Sea. The collection manager reports to the Curator and will support the maintenance, growth and services provided
by the Florida Biodiversity Collection, and will lead or collaborate on research projects involving the collection. Tasks include: supervising the collection technician; collecting, fixing, preserving, identifying and cataloging invertebrate specimens; monitoring
and requesting purchases of supplies as needed; processing, tracking, and recalling specimen loans; fulfilling data requests, consultations for FWC researchers and Law Enforcement, and the public; creating and participating in outreach events, including internships,
social media content, tours, and public presentations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
