The Natural History Museum of LA County (NHMLAC) seeks to hire an Associate Registrar. Under the direction of the Chief Registrar & Director of Collections and Research Resources, the Associate Registrar works with collections and exhibition staff to document, record, and manage the use of our own collection and objects on loan, to maintain high standards of object care and handling, and to set and implement policies for the acquisition and use of collections. In most cases, the Associate Registrar takes the lead on exhibition loans, in-house and temporary exhibitions, deaccessions, and temporary relocations.
NHMLAC was the first museum in L.A. to open its doors 109 years ago and is poised for an exciting new era as it plans for the future. Having recently completed a new strategic framework, the Natural History Museums of Los Angeles County—including NHM at Exposition Park, La Brea Tar Pits and Museum in mid-Wilshire, and the William S. Hart Museum in Newhall—is looking forward to new collections and research initiatives, building projects and campaigns, exhibitions, community outreach, and innovative audience engagement.
The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County values and endeavors to support diversity, equity, inclusion, and access within its organization and communities. Candidates who identify as Black, Indigenous, or a Person of Color (BIPOC), neurodiverse, a woman, a person with a disability, a veteran, and/or a part of the LGBTQAI+ community are welcome and encouraged to apply. We are especially interested in candidates whose background and experience have prepared them to contribute to our commitment to engage and include culturally diverse audiences in museums and in science. It is an exciting time as we embark on new journeys of becoming a museum of, for, and with L.A.
