<p class="MsoNormal">The Denver Museum of Nature & Science maintains a research collection of approximately 1.3 million animal specimens and specimen lots in the Zoology Collections. The Zoology collections are comprised of both vertebrate and invertebrate
species, providing a taxonomically diverse and scientifically valuable resource for research and education. Major taxonomic groups represented include arachnids, insects, mollusks, mammals and birds. The Integrative Collection Branch (ICB) oversees the preservation,
maintenance and access to these collections, ensuring their long-term viability and usefulness. The Entomology Collections Interns will work in the ICB to improve the accessibility of Zoology’s Entomology specimen data.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This position will participate in the data preparation activities (standardization and general cleanup) for migrating entomology specimen data into the Arctos database. Areas of data needing cleanup include agent names (people), geographies
and localities (places), attributes (measurements and qualitative information) and taxonomies (species and higher-level identifications). Much of this work will be conducted in MS Excel and with existing tools in Arctos. It will also require data research
activities such as verifying data from specimen labels, additional databases (EMu) or consulting original data source materials (e.g., field notes).
