The Denver Museum of Nature & Science, the nation’s 4th largest natural history museum, is planning to develop a major new permanent exhibition and associated educational programming to showcase the Rocky Mountain region’s exquisite geological story and its interconnections with global processes and climate change. We seek a Curator of Earth Sciences to lead this effort and to maintain an active research program based in the Rocky Mountains.

This energetic PhD scientist will have a broad Earth systems perspective, superb leadership and communication skills, a history of interdisciplinary collaboration, an ability and desire to communicate science to the public, strong interest in museum-based science, and a record of grants and peer-reviewed publications.

Send application including letter of interest, curriculum vitae, and contact information for three references to Kirk Johnson at geology.job@dmns.org.
