We are interested in a leader for all aspects of the program, from field collections through specimen preparation and curation, to use of the collections in modern specimen-based research. The successful candidate will curate the Ichthyology and Herpetology Collections (with the collaboration of a full-time collections manager) and maintain an active research program in collections-based research.



The CUMV is a unit of the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__ecologyandevolution.cornell.edu_&d=AwIFAg&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=bSkXUyVKhpLGJ5VkgkXn7lrzxuW8z6Uce1pCj5IdBmI&s=kG9BiamVW2jzjfNT7WUvtgNHfcGbOKdBcjQG1PJ4K9M&e= > and is housed in the modern Imogene Powers Johnson Center for Birds and Biodiversity, along with the Lab of Ornithology<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.birds.cornell.edu_Page.aspx-3Fpid-3D1478&d=AwIFAg&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=bSkXUyVKhpLGJ5VkgkXn7lrzxuW8z6Uce1pCj5IdBmI&s=zPVfpAWkLshBhdYOjXMxH-Eh_v933E0D4KNqK0883sw&e= > and its ~200 faculty and staff. The CUMV holdings include over 1.25 million specimens, including over 1.25 million fishes, 30,000 amphibian and reptile specimens, and a substantial tissue collection.  The CUMV includes space for teaching, specimen preparation and molecular work; a walk-in freezer; X-ray lab; dermestarium; etc. Cornell supports a diverse community of faculty, staff and students pursuing an uncommonly large number of programs and projects in vertebrate biology, ecology and evolution.
