The Scripps Institution of Oceanography is one of the world's oldest, largest, and most important centers for research, education and public service in the marine and earth sciences. Founded in 1903, Scripps' original charter required it to maintain and operate a public aquarium and museum. Attendance is in excess of 400,000 per year with over 60,000 K-12 school children participating in extensive education programs. The successful candidate will be a collaborative, energetic, and dynamic individual who has the scientific credibility, knowledge, and creativity to work closely with scientists and faculty at Scripps in the translation of institution research into effective public exhibit and educational programs. Most importantly, the candidate selected will have a deep personal commitment to communicating scientific concepts and principles to the lay public of all ages.
Salary commensurate with experience.
