The Technical Officer Digitising role sits within the Collection Enhancement Project Digitising Unit as part of the Australian Museum Research Institute. This role is offered on a temporary full-time basis for a period of 18 months.

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Australian Museum and help make their collections accessible to the world. You will provide technical support to the Museum’s Collection Enhancement Project, working closely with collection staff, barcoding staff and the EMu database and DigiVol teams, to digitise the AM’s collections.

Particular focus will be placed on working with fragile specimens from the Mineralogy and Petrology collections and will require physically demanding tasks. Other tasks will include basic identification and registration of specimens within the Museums database and photography of specimens using specialised photographic equipment.
