Director of Museum & Archives full-time, 40 hour/week, up to $62K plus benefits in Easton, PA (Lehigh Valley)
Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (DLNHC) is one of 62 National Heritage Areas designated by US Congress as places where natural, cultural and historic resources combine to form a cohesive, nationally important landscape. DLNHC encompasses five counties in eastern Pennsylvania. We strive to tell the many inter-related stories stemming from the transportation and utilization of coal along rivers and canals from Wilkes-Barre to Bristol—the route that built the foundation of our nation's industrial growth. We seek to explore our past as we highlight the diverse experiences of miners, canal workers, and industrial pioneers, and look to the future as we explore how our industrial heritage shapes our communities today.
As our Museum & Archives Director, you'll set a vision for how the stories of our Corridor are interpreted and presented to the community. You'll manage a team of talented and dedicated employees and volunteers, build community identity around our critical role in the industrial development of the United States, and leverage our archive of historical artifacts to further academic study and community understanding alike. As part of our leadership team, you'll also have a critical role in setting long-term goals and vision for the entire DLNHC.
DLNHC headquarters and the National Canal Museum are located in Easton, PA. The position is full-time 40 hours per week and mostly in-person with the opportunity for a few days a month of telework after the introductory period. Compensation is $58,000 - $62,000 annual salary range plus benefits.
Position is open until filled with rolling application reviews.
