Colleagues:

The exhibit development department at the Field Museum of Natural History in
Chicago has several openings, and we are hoping that you will pass this
information along to qualified candidates (or apply yourself, if you're
interested!).

PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO ME (I'm just the messenger)-- rather,
inquiries/resumes/etc should be directed to the Human Resources Department.
That number is: 312-922-9410 x356.

What follows is the brief internal posting announcements.  More information
may be available through Human Resources.

Thanks,
Robin
