Junior Curators are volunteers with an intense interest in natural science and animal care. Volunteer responsibilities include live animal care, in-house and community natural history education, Museum special events and the Fossil Lab.
Junior
Curators enjoy bimonthly natural history seminars about
such varied topics as fire ecology, neotropical migratory
birds and invasive species. They enjoy monthly field
experiences to natural areas around the state and participate
in natural science service projects. They interact regularly
with Museum staff and other natural history professionals
from local universities, state agencies and Research
Triangle Park. Students work together with like-minded
peers.
For the 2007–2008 school year, applications will be available in April 2007 and must be turned in by June 10, 2007. Students may stay in the program for up to five years. For more information, contact Adrian Yirka, curator of youth programs, at (919) 733-7450, ext. 520.
