The University of Alaska is seeking a Director for the University of
Alaska Museum of the North. The Museum, located in Fairbanks, Alaska, is
an AAM-accredited museum of natural and cultural history. It is a center
for the collection and preservation of objects from and related to
Alaska and for research and education pertaining to the North. The
museum is the only natural history museum in Alaska, and it is unique in
maintaining research collections in Life Sciences (botany, entomology,
ichthyology, mammalogy, and ornithology), Earth Sciences (geology and
paleontology), Anthropology (archeology and ethnology), Fine Arts,
History, and the Alaska Native Heritage Film Center. There are over 2
