We are looking for individuals to join our team who are inspired by our mission to ignite curiosity and wonder, explore our connections to nature and the universe, and create a better future for our evolving world. We recognize that structural and institutional barriers exist that prevent the inclusion and equal participation of people in our work. We believe that recognizing who is missing, and working to include them, is a first step to becoming a better museum. Although this work is challenging, it will enhance our science and expand our reach. We strongly urge people who identify as underrepresented in the sciences to apply and work with us so that we reflect the society we serve.
