Founded in 1866, the Yale Peabody Museum is one of the world’s oldest and largest university museums of its kind. Home to over 14 million objects and specimens across 10 distinct collections, it preserves and displays more than four billion years of Earth and human history. In March of 2024 the museum reopened to the public with free admission for all after a four-year renovation project that facilitated a new state of the art macro and micro fossil preparation lab, new collections space, expanded exhibitions, classrooms, and imaging studios. The mission of the Peabody Museum is to serve Yale University by advancing our
understanding of earth’s history through geological, biological and anthropological research, and by communicating the results of this research to the widest possible audience through publication, exhibition and educational programs.
Fundamental to this mission is stewardship of the Museum’s rich collections, which provide a remarkable record of the history of the earth, its life and its cultures. Conservation, augmentation and use of these collections become increasingly urgent as modern threats to the diversity of life and culture continue to intensify.
We invite you to join our dynamic team of museum professionals!
