<div><font face="Open Sans" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;">The University of Washington Burke Museum invites applications for the full-time position of collections manager of paleobotany (permanent 0.5 FTE) and manager of the paleobotanical laboratory
(0.5 FTE for four years, with the possibility of renewal).<br>
<br>
The Burke Museum, located on the UW campus in Seattle, is a repository for research collections and has substantial exhibit and K-16 outreach programs. Fossil collections at the Burke Museum are actively growing and include over three million specimens distributed
in several subdisciplines: vertebrate paleontology, paleobotany, invertebrate paleontology, and micropaleontology. A smaller collection of minerals and meteorites is also part of the department’s holdings. Currently, the fossil collections are managed by three
half-time faculty curators, one full-time fossil lab manager, and two full-time collections managers. Our collections managers are experts in vertebrate and invertebrate paleontology but currently share responsibility for the paleobotanical collections. We
are seeking to add an expert in paleobotany to our team of collections staff who can focus on these collections, as well as manage the labs associated with paleobotanical research in our collections. In addition, some of the actively used paleobotanical collections
are prepared, studied, and housed in the Biology Department, located in the Life Sciences Building on the UW campus; curation of these collections needs to be better integrated into the mission of Burke Paleobotany overall.<br>
<br>
Review of applications will begin on July 15, 2021.<br>
<br>
The successful candidate will assist the curator of paleobotany in setting curatorial and collections goals and in day-to-day collections operations. Specific responsibilities include:<br>
<br>
