Keeper of Medicine
Closing Date: 25/01/2017
We are
looking for an exceptional individual to provide strategic direction,
content leadership and team management delivering collections-based
content for the most ambitious element
of the Science Museum’s Masterplan. Opening in 2019, we are creating a
suite of five new Medicine Galleries which will showcase our world class
Medicine collection in a new location at the heart of the Museum. We
have already been successful in obtaining significant
funding from Heritage Lottery Fund, Wellcome Trust and Wolfson
Foundation. The Keeper will drive the content forward through strong
decision making and advocacy, playing a leading role in the success of
the Medical Galleries.
The Keeper
will also manage the Medical curatorial group to nurture and grow
talent, ensuring that curatorial and research work is fully integrated
into the Collections Department and
Museum as a whole. The Keeper will promote curatorial excellence,
collections development and review, inputting into our Collections
Online and Storage projects. They will lead the team to work closely
with other key departments throughout the Museum to ensure
the seamless delivery of outstanding galleries, temporary exhibitions,
publications and research.
You are likely to be a recognised authority and expert in medical
history or current biomedical science, and will be expected to maintain a
strong international reputation for scholarship, representing the
museum nationally and internationally.
