Have you ever wanted the opportunity to shape the future of conservation science at a world-renowned museum? The Denver Museum of Nature & Science (DMNS) invites applications for the position of Museum Conservation Scientist to lead analytical research, conservation science initiatives, and preservation strategies for collections at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. This role will drive the scientific investigation of materials, deterioration processes, and preventive conservation approaches and support curatorial research questions across the institution. You will also be encouraged to pursue independent research on DMNS collections and beyond. The successful candidate will develop and build out new laboratory capacity and have the opportunity to acquire a range of analytical instrumentation. The DMNS is a leading natural history museum in the nation and houses over 4.5 million objects, specimens, and belongings. The Avenir Conservation Center (ACC) at DMNS was established in 2022 through an extraordinary gift. The ACC is an advanced conservation laboratory and an entity that carries out expansive and culturally inclusive projects. At DMNS, conservators have historically mainly engaged with ethnological and archaeological collections; however, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to conduct analytical studies on a wide range of materials including organic, inorganic, and composite objects, and a variety of different collections (anthropological, biological, geological, paleontological, and archival) and departments. The successful candidate will actively share research findings both within the institution and across the broader museum and academic sectors. We are looking for someone eager to communicate their science broadly and translate complex findings through public programs, and both scholarly and popular publications. This position offers significant opportunities to shape the conservation science program at the Museum. The successful candidate will play a key role in expanding analytical capabilities, building new research infrastructure, and strengthening our understanding of cultural and natural heritage materials.
