Science Director and Curator, Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum & Aquarium
Sanibel, FL
Compensation: $85,000-$105,000
The Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum & Aquarium (BMNSM&A) seeks qualified applicants for the position of Science Director and Curator to oversee the care and management of the Museum’s scientific collection of shells and other specimens, lead the institution’s work in research and publication, and help shape the Museum’s public engagement and impact through exhibits and educational programs.
This is a uniquely exciting moment for the Museum and opportunity for the next Science Director and Curator to influence the fields of natural history and malacology, and how they are communicated to the public. BMNSM&A has just completed a multi-year redesign and reinstallation of its permanent exhibits, and the retiring Science Director and Curator is completing a 30-year tenure at the Museum that includes, among many important accomplishments, full cataloguing of the scientific collection.
The ideal candidate will have skill and enthusiasm for communicating science and natural history to the public, a strong knowledge and passion for mollusks (with a preference for expertise in shelled mollusks such as gastropods or bivalves), commitment to guiding the future of the institution’s science and research priorities, a record of publication and grant writing, and a collaborative and collegial working style.
