The Assistant Curator of Archaeology role at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science bridges traditional curatorial oversight with advanced laboratory science within the Anthropology Department. Key responsibilities include designing and implementing analytical research protocols using techniques like stable isotope analysis, managing the ethical stewardship of over 580,000 archaeological objects, and fostering collaborative relationships with Indigenous and source communities. The position also involves translating complex scientific findings into public narratives and mentoring early-career professionals. This opportunity appeals to scholars seeking a collaborative, outwardly focused environment that values equity and multi-vocal curation. The role offers the chance to drive new scholarship on significant regional collections while contributing to a culture that prioritizes scientific curiosity, creativity, and community engagement.
