What I found most interesting was the requirement to show that your specialisation results from 200 years experience of fieldwork and expeditions ...surely now illegal under age discrimination legislation. And basic biology. ;-)
“You should have a specialisation in working with collections gathered over at least the last two centuries through ethnographic fieldwork and expeditions.”

What I found most interesting about this was the fact that academic publication is considered more important for a curator's post than a professional qualification. When I started out 30+ years ago that was
not unusual in the archive world.
