The Field Museum invites applications for a paleontology position in fossil reptiles — preferably specializing in dinosaurs — at the Assistant Curator rank. The Field Museum's Geology Section has a record of scientific excellence in collections-based research. Our fossil reptile collection is world-class, with exceptional strength in North America. We are seeking a collegial individual with strong communication skills to develop an outstanding research program in dinosaur evolution, systematics, paleoecology, or paleobiology in a comparative context.
The successful candidate will be expected to maintain an externally funded field and/or laboratory research program, to contribute to building and using the dinosaur collections, and to participate in Museum exhibition, public outreach and education, and programmatic efforts. Close relationships with local universities provide opportunities for participation in graduate and undergraduate training. A Ph.D. in a relevant discipline must be held by the start of employment.
Applications should include:
(1) a Curriculum Vitae;
(2) a statement of research interests and career objectives;
(3) names and contact information for three people from whom letters of recommendation may be sought; and
(4) copies of up to 5 relevant publications in PDF format.
Review of applications will begin on September 2, 2019. To apply and for inquiries, email: fossilreptilessearch@fieldmuseum.org
