Greetings,
I'm excited to share that the Carnegie Museum of Natural History is hiring
a Collection Manager of Mammals.
The position’s primary responsibilities involve the physical care,
maintenance, and preservation of collections of the Section of Mammals.
This collection is a research collection consisting of more than 120,300
specimens covering 24 of the 26 living orders of mammals and 114 of the 136
recent families. The majority of specimens are skins and skulls (and some
skeletons) but include a corresponding frozen tissue collection of more
than 19,000 samples.
A portion of this work will be dedicated to innovating and/or implementing
modern storage techniques within the collection and increasing its
visibility and utility. Requests for collection visits, loans, data, and
images will be handled in a timely manner with appropriate documentation
for the collection. Collaboration with curators and conservators will be
undertaken to propose, develop, and apply for grants related to collection
care and/or data management. Outreach will include roles within the larger
museum community, including development (e.g., participation in donor
cultivation activities such as collection tours), exhibits, education,
marketing and communications, media requests, and internal public lectures.
Service is expected to be at a high level both within the museum and within
the disciplinary community, and professional development activities will be
undertaken to further knowledge of collection stewardship.
