Reporting to the Lead Curator of Botany, Geology & Science you’ll be working with World Museum’s nationally important botany collections.

This post sits within the Botany, Geology and Science section of the World Museum curatorial department, where the post-holder will be working closely with the Assistant Curator of Botany working towards digitising the preserved Bryophyte collections held in the herbarium, to make them globally accessible. The World Museum curatorial team is passionate about the collections and the disciplines they work in – do you want to join us?

To be successful in this role, you will have a broad knowledge of botany and a willingness to work across the entire botany collection’s chronological remit and activity to support the core day-to-day work of the team. You will be used to object handling within a museum or heritage environment, with experience of using and updating collections management systems and have a good understanding of museum documentation standards.
