Careers

The Museum's various education-based teams bring STEM alive for our visitors through our exhibits, our communities, and at home, every day. Participate in the research and development of our programs, exhibits, and curricula, or you could be the one presenting to a live Museum audience!

We find strength in connections. Our professional, customer-facing staff members ensure that visitors always enjoy a positive and memorable Museum experience. From our guest service specialists and Science Central phone operators to our public safety officers, we are always ready to help!

You don't have to be a scientist to work here. As important as the science we share with the world are the dedicated professionals who keep the institution running smoothly, day in and day out. If you are looking for a career in finance, advancement, human resources, marketing, and many other fields, we have an opportunity for you!

Did you know the Museum is an AZA (Association of Zoos and Aquariums)-accredited zoo? We house over 150 species in our Live Animal Care Center and Garden Walk & Insect Zoo, and these animal ambassadors are fed and cared for by a team of animal care professionals. The Museum's living collections contribute to a wide variety of exhibits and programs that promote interest in the natural sciences.

Do you like creating things from the ground up? At the Museum, we dream big, and to achieve those dreams, our exhibits creators, installers, and fabricators need are already creating the next big exhibit. Our facilities team keeps our building running, and many other areas of the Museum encourage your DIY spirit!

We put the "T" (technology) in STEM! In a rapidly changing world, technology is everywhere, especially in the workplace. While everyone uses technology, the Museum is an especially great place to be for information technologists, digital content creators, designers, marketing professionals, and many others.
