Job description
Are you a motivated individual with a keen interest in medical history
and current biomedical science? Would you like to work at the Science
Museum, supporting and delivering collections-based content for the most
ambitious element of our Masterplan? We are creating a suite of five
new Medicine Galleries, opening in 2019, which will showcase our
world-class Medicine collection in a new location at the heart of the
Museum.
This is a unique opportunity to contribute to the intellectual
development and the delivery of the Medicine Galleries project. Your
role will include enabling and documenting the practical development of
object displays. You will also conduct content research to inform object
and digital interpretation, plus associated online and publication
outputs. Enhancing collection documentation also forms a key part of the
role. You will supervise volunteers/ interns as required.
The position is based at the Science Museum, but you will be required to
work from time to time at Blythe House, the Science Museum's small
object store in West London, and also at our large object store,
Wroughton near Swindon.
The post is subject to funding confirmation.
