Museum Jobs

As I have not yet had either a paid or a volunteer museum position, my most likely inroad to museum employment is to start off volunteering so that I can demonstrate my ability to integrate well into a museum work environment as well as the aptitudes I would bring to the role. Now that our class is done installing our exhibit, I intend to make some time later this week to complete my volunteer application for the Statewide Museum Collections Center (SMCC).

After skimming the job boards Dr. C linked us to, I decided to aim high in my hypothetical job search and selected the posting which I found most interesting (see the AAM's job postings); although my experience level would leave a bit to be desired, I would compensate with commitment and enthusiasm!

Position Title: Program Manager - Portal to the Public
Company Name: Pacific Science Center
Location(s): Seattle, Washington, 98109, United States

Job Description: Pacific Science Center is looking for a Program Manager to join the Portal to the Public department. This department connects current regional research to on-site and off-site public audiences through face-to-face programs with scientists including Scientists Spotlight, Science Cafes and multiple special event weekends such as Polar Science Weekend.
The Portal to the Public Program Manager helps to design and implement an innovative public portal to science. The position is an integral part of Pacific Science Center’s role as a driving force in science education and significantly enhancing the participant’s experience. The Program Manager oversees programmatic aspects of the Portal to the Public department to provide training for scientists and bring them face-to-face with public audiences in on-site and off-site events reaching a range of audiences.

Job Requirements: The ideal candidate will have the following qualifications: Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in science, education, museum or visitor studies or related field; Experience with public engagement with science, and in developing collaborative relationships with other organizations; Excellent oral and written communication skills; Strong project management and organizational skills; Ability to manage collaborative programs with multiple institutions that are widely dispersed geographically; Excellent time management skills; ability to work proactively and independently; Creative problem solving skills; flexibility and excellent judgment; Professional attitude; Smiling team player; Experience supervising personnel, setting goals for personnel, providing guidance and feedback; Experience developing hands-on inquiry activities.


My interest in this position stems largely from a combination of my fondness for scientific fields and my wish for more accessible science information and education to be available to the public. A career that would help facilitate the latter, and give me a chance to interact and collaborate with scientific professionals, would be appealing. My qualifications include:

- Understanding of and aptitude for science. AS in Geography, BA [let's just fast forward a year] in Anthropology, self-taught in geology, zoology and cosmology.
- Coordination of projects and groups, in academic and community contexts.
- Educating others as a tutor and teaching assistant.
- High level of organizational skill; ability to quickly develop classificatory and procedural systems suited to the situation at hand.
