Content Developer, Health Matters Project 6 month contract £23,970 per annum pro-rata, including London weighting Closing date: 12 September The Science Museum is looking for a skilled, enthusiastic and knowledgeable researcher to work on an update to the Health Matters gallery, the Science Museum's signature display on modern medicine. The project is an exciting one. Nearly 15 years after it opened, we are taking the opportunity to update the content and the way we engage our audiences with aspects of modern medicine within the gallery. The upgrade will involve developing thought-provoking displays - including a series of new interactive exhibits and films - that explore how people, science and medicine interact to produce a form of medicine that is more successful than any that has gone before. This research role will primarily focus on the section of the gallery that looks at how biomedical research transforms our understanding of health and disease. This is a great opportunity for someone wanting to gain experience of museum exhibitions and/or wanting to communicate their understanding of the recent history of medicine.
