Join the Natural Sciences team at MAGNT in an exciting phase of collection consolidation, digitisation, creating new stories in refreshed exhibition spaces, and helping build reimagined research facilities. The MAGNT Natural Science collection primarily represents the fauna of the Northern Territory and neighbours, and is home to significant collections of NT reptiles, arid zone mammals, fishes and marine invertebrates.

As the new Collection Manager, you’ll lead a small Natural Sciences collection management and technical team based in both Darwin and Alice Springs. You’ll have a focus on data integrity, ethical collecting and teamwork, ready for putting in place effective policies and procedures that will safeguard the collections for decades to come. You will also have the opportunity to be involved in a growing research culture, supporting curators on fieldwork, digitisation and genomics.  We work collaboratively across collection management and curation, research, exhibitions, public programs and with external organisations. Where required we also work closely with the Northern Territory Government.

The Top End is a naturalist’s dream, where you can immerse yourself in unique monsoon and savannah landscapes daily, eat lunch in the museum café and expand your cultural horizons with direct access to curators and collections across Art, History, Aboriginal Heritage and Culture.
