Curator/Division of Insects
Field Museum of Natural History

The Department of Zoology of the Field Museum seeks a scientist with 
research programs focused on arthropods to fill a career-track 
appointment at the Assistant Curator level. Candidates should have a 
Ph.D. and a proven record of scientific achievement in 
collections-based research.  Beyond taxonomic focus, we are searching 
broadly for excellence in evolutionary biology in such areas as 
phylogenetics, comparative morphology, molecular biology, 
development, biogeography, co-evolution, and conservation.

In addition to research, responsibilities include curation of 
globally important collections in the Division of Insects, 
participation in public exhibit and education programs, and 
administration. Strong relationships with local universities provide 
opportunities for participation in graduate and undergraduate 
training and teaching. Applications should include:  (1) a Curriculum 
Vitae; (2) a statement of research and curatorial interests; (3) 
names and contact information of three referees; and (4) copies of up 
to 5 relevant publications. Review of applications will begin January 
5, 2007. Send materials to:  Search Committee, Department of Zoology, 
Field Museum, 1400 South Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, IL  60605-2496, USA.

Application materials as e-mail attachments preferred (receipt will 
be acknowledged).
