Job opportunity: Keeper of Science Collections, Science Museum, London
ISHPSS
From: Alison Boyle <Alison...@ScienceMuseum.ac.uk>
Dear all,
Please see below for details of a great job opportunity at the Science Museum. This is my current role, and I’m happy to say that that whoever gets the job will be very lucky indeed to be working with a fantastic team of curators.
A personal note (apologies to those who would like to get straight to the job ad!): I’m moving on from the Science Museum, and London, to return home to Ireland closer to my family. It has been a wonderful experience over the last 20 years and the Rete community has been a major part of that. I look forward to keeping in touch with you all!
Regards
Ali
