Position Available  --  Collections Associate

The Museum of the City of New York seeks a highly-motivated individual
to provide administrative support in its Department of Collections
Access.  The Collections Associate provides general support for
curatorial staff and more concentrated support in the Museum s ongoing
efforts to make its collections accessible to the public.  This
includes work related to Research Services, Electronic Media, Rights &
Reproductions, and the Museum s ambitious Collections Access Project
(CAP), which will result in a sophisticated image-based museum
management database.

The position requires meticulous organizational skills, and the
ability to prioritize a wide variety of tasks in a very busy and
always interesting office environment.  Strong word processing skills
are essential (WordPerfect and Word), and a familiarity with database
structure and development (particularly Access) is highly desirable.
While knowledge of New York City history is not required, an active
interest in the City s past is an essential and integral part of this
position.

This is a full-time position with a starting annual salary range of
$22,500 - $24,000 .  The Museum of the City of New York offers a very
attractive benefits package, and is an equal opportunity employer.
