Planetarium Astronomer
National Maritime Museum
London
GBP 20,000 - GBP 28,000
Could you engage, inspire and enthuse a wide range of audiences - from under
5's to specialist adults? If so, we need you to ensure that every visitor
to the Peter Harrison Planetarium enjoys an unforgettable experience.
As a key member of the Science Education Department here at the Royal
Observatory, you'll develop and deliver a broad spectrum of activities from
planetarium shows and workshops to innovative digital projects, exhibitions
and more. This unique and highly rewarding role will also see you
co-ordinate planetarium programming and resources, produce written material
and oversee freelance presenters.
You will also be tasked with maintaining hardware and software systems, so
first-rate IT skills are important. You should also be keen to learn new
programming languages. A relevant degree or postgraduate qualification and
an in-depth knowledge of astronomy and space exploration are essential
too, combined with proven communication and presentation skills. Experience
of producing planetarium shows and using 3D modelling and multimedia
software would be ideal, though it's not a must.
