Are you a leader who believes that museums can profoundly change the world? Can you think
strategically and positively influence others to achieve results? Are you able to respond to the

Executive Director. The Executive Director is responsible for the successful leadership and

We are looking for a leader who can inspire a shared vision and attract the resources (human

can experience the excitement of discovery, come to a greater understanding of archaeology
