Royal Museums Greenwich (RMG) is comprised of the National Maritime Museum,
Royal Observatory, the Peter Harrison Planetarium, Cutty Sark and Queen's
House, all located within the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Maritime
Greenwich, London. RMG's mission is to enrich people's understanding of the
sea, the exploration of space, and Britain's role in world history.
The Museum holds one of the largest collections of navigational instruments
in the world, from early instruments used for dead-reckoning in the
sixteenth century to eighteenth-century sextants and telescopes to
twentieth-century sonar and oceanographic instruments.
Working in the History of Science curatorial team, the post-holder will
develop expertise on navigational instruments and the associated
scholarship on the history of navigation at sea. This will include
exploring wider links between navigation, astronomy, cartography, and
horology within the history and context of the Royal Observatory,
particularly as we approach its 350th anniversary in 2025. It will ensure
that the collections and their related subjects are accessible and made
relevant, contemporary and interesting to a full range of audiences.
The closing date for the role is the 11th of January, with interviews
scheduled for the 18th of January.
