The Bell Museum’s Public Engagement and Science Learning (PESL) team is responsible for developing and delivering a robust suite of public programs, in-person and online, that engage diverse audiences in current science, natural history and astronomy, arts and humanities. These programs build on key themes in the Bell’s exhibition galleries and planetarium shows and serve as the backbone of our interpretive efforts. Our public programs largely serve an intergenerational family audience and include monthly Spotlight Science events featuring researchers, University of Minnesota units, and community organizations; night-sky observing events (Star Parties); annual festivals (Collectors Day, Space Fest); special lectures, performances, and more.
As the Bell moves into the implementation phase of its 2023 strategic plan, we are prioritizing collaborations with communities historically excluded from science, museums, and higher education, including Black, Indigenous and People of Color communities, girls/women, and first generation college-goers, to increase equitable access to the museum and university’s resources. This priority will be reflected through our program-planning and content decisions.
We are looking for individuals to join our team who are inspired by our mission to ignite curiosity and wonder, explore our connections to nature and the universe, and create a better future for our evolving world. We believe that difference is a strength and are looking for candidates that reflect and respect diversity. We encourage you to apply for the position even if you do not believe you meet every qualification.
