Job description
Company Description The Canadian Museum of Nature is Canada's national museum of natural history and natural sciences, dedicated to advancing the understanding and appreciation of nature. The museum offers evidence-based insights and inspiring experiences that connect visitors with nature's past, present, and future. Its work is grounded in scientific research and a world-class collection of 14.6 million specimens. Through education programs, signature and travelling exhibitions, and a dynamic website (nature.ca), the museum engages diverse audiences and fosters curiosity, learning, and wonder about the natural world.

Role Description The Mineral Collections Manager is a full-time, on-site role based in Ottawa, ON, responsible for the stewardship, organization, and growth of the museum’s mineral collections. This role oversees the cataloguing, documentation, and preservation of mineral specimens, ensuring that collection data is accurate, accessible, and aligned with institutional standards. The Mineral Collections Manager collaborates closely with scientists, conservators, educators, and exhibition teams to support research projects, loans, and the development of gallery and travelling exhibits. Daily responsibilities include supervising collection care procedures, coordinating acquisitions and deaccessions, responding to internal and external collection inquiries, and contributing to public engagement initiatives that highlight the mineral collections. The role may also involve training and guiding staff, students, and volunteers in best practices for collection management and handling.

Qualifications

Demonstrated expertise in mineralogy, geology, or earth sciences, with experience working with natural history or museum collections.

Strong collection management skills, including cataloguing, documentation, database use, and adherence to professional standards for curation and preservation.

Experience in specimen handling and conservation practices, including environmental monitoring, safe storage and risk mitigation for mineral collections.

Ability to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams, support research activities, and coordinate loans and exhibition requirements.

Clear written and verbal communication skills for preparing reports, procedures, interpretive content, and responding to inquiries from diverse audiences.

Organizational and project management abilities, including prioritizing tasks, meeting deadlines, and overseeing workflows for staff, students, or volunteers.

Proficiency with digital tools and collection management software; familiarity with GIS, imaging, or data standards in natural history collections is an asset.

Relevant post-secondary degree in geology, mineralogy, museum studies, or a related field; advanced studies or equivalent professional experience are considered an asset.

Commitment to inclusive, non-discriminatory practices and to engaging diverse communities in understanding and appreciating the natural world.
