Head of Life & Geosciences

Join us at the Australian Museum and help us to achieve our Mission to ignite wonder, inspire debate and drive change.

The Australian Museum Research Institute's Mission

The Australian Museum Research Institute (AMRI®) is committed to understanding and responding to challenges facing our planet through scientific research, communication and education and offers a unique perspective on understanding the evolution of our environment and the path to a better future.

AMRI brings together a team of more than 100 staff including research scientists, collection scientists, collection officers and more than 130 associates, fellows and students. We also host many visiting local and international researchers each and every year. We hold approximately 19 million objects and specimens in our natural history collections and our research is underpinned by significant scientific infrastructure.

About the Life and Geosciences Team

Life and Geosciences is the largest branch of the Australian Museum Research Institute with ten collection areas. The team advances scientific discovery and understanding of Earth’s biodiversity and geological heritage. Housing one of the world’s most extensive natural science collections — from animals and fossils to minerals — we document, preserve, and interpret the natural world to better understand its past, present, and future.

Our research spans diverse disciplines including ornithology, mammalogy, malacology, ichthyology, arachnology, entomology, herpetology, palaeontology and mineralogy. By describing, classifying, and studying our fauna and geology, we provide the foundational knowledge needed for informed decision-making on species conservation, environmental management, and building Australia's capacity to respond to biodiversity loss and environmental change. . The division’s collections serve as a global scientific resource, supporting researchers, students, and policy makers alike. Our mission is to expand knowledge of life and Earth sciences, promote sustainable practices, and contribute to solutions for biodiversity conservation, climate challenges, and natural resource management.

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced senior leader to head the Life and Geosciences Branch. Reporting to the Director AMRI, you will set the direction for the Branch's natural science collections and research programs, drive implementation of the Museum's Science Strategy, and bring genuine intellectual and operational leadership to a team of dedicated scientists and collection specialists.

You will operate with significant autonomy contributing to strategic planning, resource allocation, budget management and external funding development across the Branch and the broader AMRI Division.
