About National Museums NI: National Museums NI is a leading cultural institution responsible for ensuring that its significant collection is developed, cared for, and accessible to the widest possible audience. Almost one million people enjoy our four museums each year, and through loans, research, community activity, and digital programmes, we engage a much wider audience than those who physically visit our museums. We believe that our museums can play an important and valuable role at the heart of society.
Vision: To celebrate who we are, telling the stories of our past, challenging our present, shaping our future.
The role: The Curator of Entomology will play a central role in the research, management, and development of the entomology collection, with a particular focus on, though not limited to, the insects of Ireland. The main purpose is to develop the entomology collection through curation of existing and new material; audit; rationalisation, and digitisation of the collection. They will do this working collaboratively with colleagues across the organisation on an individual basis and as part of wider project teams. Focus will be on, though not limited to, insects relating to biodiversity, conservation, and restoration of natural environments in Northern Ireland and with partners in the Republic of Ireland and Britain.
