elionwyrI got the job description for the mammal keeper position!
~~~
POSITION: Mammal Keeper
The Academy of Natural Sciences is seeking an individual to be responsible for the daily husbandry of the mammal collections. Will also assist in the daily care of the reptile and bird collections and any temporary exhibits.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
1. Daily care of over 100 animals including: cleaning, feeding, and maintaining an organized healthy center.
2. Daily care of any temporary live animal exhibits.
3. Schedule, train and supervise volunteers.
4. Keep daily records.
5. Act as interpreter for public and perform daily shows.
6. Provide medical and special treatment for animals, as needed under supervision of Head Keeper
7. Reports to Head Keeper for all daily chores and responsibilities.
8. Reports to Director for boarder issues regarding performance and departmental goals and development.
9. Attends conferences on exotic animal husbandry and remains current on all dietary, housing and medical changes in the field.
QUALIFICATIONS:
1. Bachelor's degree or at least 4 years experience with exotic animals, excluding pets.
2. Ability to lift 50 lbs. and complete daily labor intensive tasks.
3. Ability to work with other staff and supervise volunteers of all ages.
4. Ability to follow instructions and work with minimal supervision.
5. Ability to organize and accomplish complicated tasks.
6. Must have valid driver's license.
~~~
So the only thing I really need is the driver's license.
So at least I know, even if I can't afford the drop in pay, I could theoretically apply for this job. Which makes me feel better. :)
(yay!)
..Rumour had it that the Norristown zoo was hiring at around $25K a year, so I went to check that out, but apparently it's already been filled. *sigh*
I'm wondering...if the museum goes AZA, would that mean union, too? If it does, it would mean more reasonable pay..so if I can just wait a little bit longer, maybe I could actually afford the job change...
*dreaming*
