Curator of Invertebrate Paleontology, Cincinnati Museum Center. We seek a curator interested in working in a museum environment to conduct specimen-based research, promote research on our collection, foster their use in exhibits and educational programs, facilitate amateur involvement in paleontology, and further develop the collection. Applicants should have interests that will take advantage of the richness of the Paleozoic invertebrate fossils in and around the Cincinnati region. The collection currently consists of 29,000 specimens with an emphasis on the Cincinnatian. (See our website at http://www.cincymuseum.org/invpaleo.htm for more information). Immediate responsibilities of the curator will include implementation of a pending NSF grant to incorporate 200,000 specimens from an existing collection into the Museum, and acting as science advisor on the creation of a 3,600 ft2 Invertebrate Paleontology exhibit to open in 2000. Future projects will include applying for NSF funding to computerize the combined collections. The paleontology program at CMC works closely with the dynamic and growing paleontology program at the University of Cincinnati. The curator will supervise two collections managers for the duration of the NSF collections grant, one thereafter. Candidates will be assessed on research, publications, and grant funding. Prior experience with collections, museums, and/or public education highly desirable. PhD in paleontology required. We anticipate hiring at the Assistant Curator level, with advancement available to Associate and Full Curator, subject to performance review. Cincinnati Museum Center is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Send cover letter, resume, and names of four references to: Kay Bolden White, Director, Human Resources, Cincinnati Museum Center, 1301 Western Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio 45203. Review of applications will begin on July 15th 1997 and continue until the position is filled. ___________________________________________________________________ Dr. Norman MacLeod Micropalaeontological Research N.MacLeod@nhm.ac.uk (E-mail) Department of Palaeontology, The Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London, SW7 5BD Office Phone: 0171-938-9006 Dept.
