Great employee activities - Curator Assistant Smithsonian Employee Review

Strong resources and a collaborative culture. Flexible mentorship and the freedom to explore diverse methods and research directions make this an extremely motivating environment to grow as a postdoc and, most importantly, as an independent researcher.

As a large institution, administrative processes and communication (e.g., contracts, payroll, or related matters) can occasionally be slow.

Great mission. Strong benefits including health insurance and 403b contribution. Many people stick around for 5, 10, 15+ years.

Things are sometimes slow due to bureaucracy.
