[Scott A Schaefer]

Dear List Members,

The Department of Ichthyology at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) seeks an outstanding colleague to join the department as the Curatorial Associate. The Curatorial Associate (CA) for Ichthyology is a Ph.D.-level ichthyologist (non-tenure track) who leads and manages the support staff and curation operations for the largest and most rapidly growing of the Museum’s vertebrate collections. Reporting to the curator-in-charge, the CA works with the curators and museum specialists to manage the ichthyology collection of Recent fishes of more than 3.2 million specimens, facilities, and operations inclusive of space, infrastructure, storage, equipment, collections management, databases, and informatics program. The CA will collaborate with a permanent staff of three experienced full-time Museum Specialists and will oversee and facilitate departmental fieldwork, collecting, processing new acquisitions, loans, visitors, stewardship, pest management, annual reporting and compliance with federal permitting, wildlife transactions, and museum policy. The CA will work with the curators to seek external support for collections improvement, digitization of collections, fieldwork, research opportunities, and other initiatives as assigned.

The Museum seeks an individual with core expertise in zoological sciences, ichthyology research and/or previous collections management experience with fishes.
