Staff
The Negaunee Integrative Research Center is filled with dedicated and passionate staff across all levels and roles, from the Director to volunteers working with us. The core component of the research center are faculty-level curators who are leading world-class research programs, contribute to training the next generation of scientists, curate and co-manage the collections, serve as content specialists for exhibits, and are involved in many other aspects of the Museum. We encourage you to take a look at the different members of staff to see those who contribute to the success of the Negaunee Integrative Research Center at its various levels.
