- Opportunity to work with one of the largest university museum collections in the U.S., encompassing science, social science, history, and visual art.
- Founded in 1929, the Museum has one of the largest collections of any university museum in the U.S., with over 8 million objects and focused on 6 areas: anthropology, visual art, clothing and textiles, history, paleontology, and natural sciences.
- Additionally, the Museum encompasses the Lubbock Lake Landmark (LLL), a world-renowned archaeological and natural-history preserve; the internationally-known Natural Science Research Laboratory (NSRL), with its cutting-edge genetic resources collection; the growing Artist Printmaker/Photographer Research Collection (AP/RC); and the Moody Planetarium.
- The incoming museum director must not only be a visionary thinker, but also a skilled fundraiser and a deft manager with a strong ability to analyze and solve problems and oversee operations of a large, multi-faceted museum organization.
- With Lubbock and West Texas forecasting growth and a diversifying population demographic over the next decade, the Museum has an opportunity to articulate the value of place, to explore the heritage and ecology of the region, and to celebrate the histories, arts, cultures, and geographies of the Southwest U.S. Texas Tech University is a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI), and the Museum is poised to increase bilingual outreach and programs for its visitors.
