Arizona Science Center is adding 12 senior and staff scientist positions plus a Director of Tribal Relations and Native American Engagement.
The senior and staff scientist roles will focus on improving programming and exhibits, delivering visitor experiences, and connecting the science center with the state’s growing STEM-related industries. The new staff roles will focus on biology, astronomy and astrophysics, chemistry and physics and computer science and technology.
The Center is located in downtown Phoenix at 600 E. Washington St.
According to a press release, one of the Arizona Science Center’s strategic priorities is to raise its profile and presence throughout the state. The new Tribal Relations & Native American Engagement Director will lead initiatives to strengthen relationships with the state's 22 Native American communities and Native American people, promote cultural awareness, and collaborate on programs to enrich all communities and audiences through science.
“This workforce expansion is one of the biggest investments in attracting and developing top talent. The growth brings a new level of science education and STEM programming to Arizona students, educators, and community members," Guy Labine, The Hazel A. Hare president and CEO of Arizona Science Center, stated.
Since its inception in 1984, Arizona Science Center has welcomed 10 million guests and 3 million students on field trips. More than 1 million students and educators have received Science on Wheels programs in classrooms and communities.
