American Museum Of Natural History Physical Science Educator
The American Museum of Natural History is one of the world's preeminent scientific and cultural institutions, and has as its mission to discover, interpret and disseminate information about human cultures, the natural world and the universe through a wide-ranging program of scientific research, education and exhibition.

- Revise or design life science curricula as needed throughout the year for various program departments.
- Participate in professional learning, including class observation, educational professional development (including special exhibits), DEI sessions and co-teaching with more senior educators.
- Manage an academic-year work schedule of Tuesday-Saturday. Depending on the class, scheduling may also include after-school (until 7pm), school holidays and peak programming during the summer (5-6 weeks).
The expected salary for the Physical Science Educator is $56,036.53/annual. The AMNH offers an extensive benefits package designed to meet the needs of our dedicated and diverse community.
Pay will be determined based on several factors. The hiring range for the position at commencement is based on the type of work and the scope of responsibilities.

- Proven knowledge and mastery of physical science content and material.
- Proven passion for youth education.
- Prior experience working with youth ages 11 to 18.
