Curator of Zoology

Leading on the key management and ethical issues relevant to Manchester Museum’s internationally significant Zoology collections (including around 1 million preserved animals), you’ll use your specialist expertise and digital skills to improve access and spark connections. We are looking for someone who can work collaboratively with colleagues and partners to reconnect nature and culture and who will champion biodiversity and environmental action within and beyond the museum

Manchester Museum is proud to be part of the University of Manchester, so a diligent and engaging approach to building research and supporting teaching is essential. We are also one of the north’s most popular visitor attractions so you’ll need to be a brilliant communicator, able to talk about complex ideas to wide ranging audiences. If you love storytelling and exhibition-making you will thrive in this role; the Zoology collection is hugely popular with audiences and central to developing inclusive public programmes within and beyond our walls.

We strongly encourage applications from individuals of diverse backgrounds to enrich our team with varied perspectives and experiences that reflect our collections and community.
