Not worth your energy!!! - Retail Associate 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.

There is a strong community and network in museum and natural science collections and support.

Working conditions have a standard of museum environment settings, not ideal for those that desire to be outside all day.
