Keeper of Science and Technology

National Museums now seeks exceptional candidates for the role of Keeper of Science & Technology. This department's collection of some 100,000 scientific, technical and medical artefacts range from medieval astrolabes to genome sequencers; from giant stationary steam engines to prototype wind turbines; from the Wright Brothers' engine to Concorde.

Reporting to the Director of Collections, the successful candidate will lead a team of ten expert curators as well as associated researchers, students and volunteers. They will manage the development, organisation, preservation and access to the collections in support of the overall organisational strategy, and be expected to contribute at a senior level in the development and delivery of NMS's policy and strategy. The new Keeper will oversee the research, collecting and engagement objectives of the department, especially in pursuit of new understandings of Scotland's material and natural heritage, and developing the collections and public profile relating to climate change. They will also support the major collaborative projects that the department has recently set out upon and help deliver our vision for the National Museums Collections Centre.
