Question Collection Manager Position: Field Museum

Hi everyone,

I am excited to announce we are looking a Collection Manager of Insects at the Field Museum! We are looking for someone with good people and digitization skills to help design and manage large digitization efforts. Candidates can apply using this link by 12/16: fieldmuseum.hrmdirect.com/employment/job-opening.php?req=3237813&req_loc=467063&&#job

The Insect Collection’s holdings of worldwide Arthropoda (excluding Crustacea) rank fifth in overall size among North American collections with more than 12.5 million specimens and are of worldwide importance for many groups. The collection presently includes roughly 4.2 million pinned insects plus 8.4 million specimens or lots in alcohol or on microscope slides. In addition, there are more than 17,000 partially sorted “bulk samples” from traps or leaf-litter extractions. The collection receives heavy use by Field Museum scientists and US and international research visitors and borrowers as well as extensive educational use.

This person will manage all the collections staff, interns and volunteers, and will work closely with me as the two members of the Collections Administrative Team. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).
