<strong><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The University of Oklahoma seeks a Director for the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History</span></strong><span style="font-family:Calibri"></span></p>
<p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Sam Noble Museum at the University of Oklahoma is seeking a visionary leader to serve as Director and to work collaboratively with an outstanding professional staff. The Museum is the state’s natural
history museum and an organized research unit of the university. It is also a space for celebrating the state’s rich cultural and natural heritage, and engages in significant outreach and educational activities designed to serve a diverse and inclusive community.</span></p>
<p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Museum contains over 10 million artifacts and specimens in a 198,000-square-foot facility. It houses notable collections in archeology, ethnology, linguistics and linguistic anthropology, herpetology,
ichthyology, invertebrates, mammalogy, ornithology, genomic resources, invertebrate paleontology, paleobotany and micropaleontology, and vertebrate paleontology. The Museum also plays an important role in Native language preservation by hosting the annual
Native American Youth Language Fair. Oklahoma is home to thirty-nine federally recognized tribes, and the Museum collaborates with tribal partners to foster respect for sovereignty and preservation of Native American language, art and culture.</span></p>
<p style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Museum has received a total of four national and international awards, including the prestigious National Medal from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, for its commitment to collection
stewardship, outreach and education activities, and public programs.</span></p>
