Geologist

Scarborough Museums Trust manages 'Rotunda - the William Smith Museum of Geology', an iconic building opened in 1829 and designed under Smith's guidance to illustrate his principles of correlation and dating by means of fossils.

The Trust seeks to appoint a geologist to further develop its role as the centre of geological activity on the NE Yorkshire coast and moors, including reinvigorating the Dinosaur Coast project, initiating a Geopark proposal and liaising with appropriate geological groups, companies, potential sponsors and supporters.

The appointee will also care for and improve access to the geological collections of Scarborough Museums Trust and improve geological displays in the Rotunda.

The post is for 2 years in the first instance, at a starting salary of £24,000.

Secondment or other flexible working arrangements will be considered.
