Subject: [rete] Curatorial Post at Greenwich

CURATOR - HISTORY OF TIMEKEEPING

?20,000 - ?30,000 + benefits * Greenwich



Recognised throughout the world for its innovative and entrepreneurial
approach, the National Maritime Museum aims to illustrate for everyone the
importance of the sea, ships, time and the stars and their relationship
with people. The Royal Observatory at Greenwich forms part of NMM and is
the international home of time. We are looking for an exceptional
individual to champion the study of the history of timekeeping and actively
research our relevant collections within the broader disciplines of the
history of science and maritime history. These are exciting times to be
joining our team: we are about to embark on a ?15 million project: Time &
Space which will include a state-of-the-art astronomy centre and new
displays that explore mankind's quest to understand time and the universe.



This new post will be central to these developments, as you will
communicate the excitement and relevance of the history of timekeeping to a
diverse range of people, from schoolchildren to academics. Encompassing
research, education and web-based interpretation work, this expansive brief
will see you work with the Senior Curator of Horology and the Exhibitions
team to develop new galleries and displays, promote the collections to a
wide audience and publish work within the academic context that interprets
the significance of the collections.



We are looking for an exceptional candidate with a proven track record
within the history of science field who can place our scientific and
technological collections into a broader historical and maritime history
context. You will have a postgraduate qualification or experience in a
relevant subject area, an active research profile and published work. We
are not necessarily looking for an horologist, but you must have the
ability to develop the necessary practical-based skills to analyse this
material for research purposes. Above all, we are looking for a genuine
enthusiasm for the subject matter and collections, together with excellent
communication and team-working skills.



Apply now by sending your CV and covering letter, quoting reference R/CHT,
to: Human Resources, National Maritime Museum, Park Row, Greenwich, London
SE10 9NF, or by email to recruitment@nmm.ac.uk



We regret that we are unable to reply to every applicant. If you do not
hear from us within three weeks, please assume you have not been
shortlisted.



Closing date for the receipt of applications: 2 February 2004.



The Museum upholds equal opportunities for all staff and has a no smoking
policy.
