The statements below reflect the general details considered necessary to describe the major responsibilities of the identified position and are not to be construed as a detailed description of all the work requirements that may be inherent in the job. An asterisk (*) indicates that this is an essential function of the job as outlined in the American with Disabilities Act.

Cincinnati Museum Center (CMC) seeks a dynamic, self-motivated, detail-oriented Manager to lead scientific and public-facing work in the Zoology collections. We are looking for a person to work collaboratively with a variety of departments across our organization, including research and collections, exhibits, education, and philanthropy. CMC is currently planning a major collections move to a newly acquired property – this position will be heavily involved with the planning and development of the new facility, logistical planning and execution of the move, and organization and establishment of the new collections and workspaces. We anticipate 2-3 years for planning/construction, with move of the collections occurring in 2027-2028.

Additionally, the Manager will lead work and engage with partners and guests in CMC’s public-facing DNA Lab, located in the Museum of Natural History & Science. The Manager will build and nurture partnerships with local universities and other scientific institutions who undertake genetic work; manage interns and guests in the space; and engage with the public to share CMC’s genetic research. Although genetics experience is preferred, CMC will train candidates with little or no genetics experience to perform basic lab protocols and supervise students and other users in the lab.

The Zoology Department also manages CMC’s live animal collection. The Collections Manager will assist the Coordinator of Animal Resources to help cover animal care on an as-needed basis.

We seek candidates who will embrace the diverse mission-based responsibilities of this position with curiosity, enthusiasm, and collaboration.

PRESERVED COLLECTIONS RESPONSIBILITIES (>65%):

CMC’s Zoology Collections include entomology, herpetology, ichthyology, malacology, mammalogy, and ornithology. These collections represent both fluid and dry collections, skeletal material, frozen tissues, and more.

In preserved Zoology collections, the Manager will:

  1. Prepare and conserve specimens
  2. Care for and maintain collection specimens and spaces
  3. Fulfill internal and external loan requests
  4. Prepare specimens for exhibit
  5. Host visiting researchers in the collections
  6. Give guided tours of collections and research areas
  7. Train and supervise volunteers and interns
  8. Engage with museum visitors
  9. Contribute to grant proposals for collections funding
  10. Assist with planning and implementation of upcoming collections move
