Good point, Richard. If I were in your position I would go for it. I have a similar background and experience, as well as a Museum Studies MA and about the same degree of difficulty getting in the field. Anything that pays is good. I just can't relocate. The salary range does severely limit the applicant pool for that position, but there ARE qualified and interested people out there. I have nothing but praise for the museum for budgeting to hire a professional, and for being up-front about the salary. And I wish the best of luck to those people who apply.
