We're in the Inspiration Business!

We're a bunch of creative and innovative life-long learners with a diverse set of backgrounds and experiences who all play a special part in bringing science to life for guests every day.

The Science Museum's dynamic team of staff, volunteers and interns has the unique opportunity to spark curiosity, encourage discovery and generate ideas in science, technology, engineering and math. We're highly collaborative, we aren't afraid to try new things, we value exceptional customer service, we work quickly and we recognize a good idea can come from anyone in the organization. If you're energetic, insatiably curious and passionate about using STEM to improve lives, we can't wait to see how you can share your time and talents to help the Science Museum execute its mission.

The Science Museum is a state agency under Virginia's Secretary of Education. All positions are posted on the Virginia Jobs website. If you need accommodation assistance related to open positions, please contact the Science Museum human resources team at [email protected].

Our goal is to stimulate interest in science, encourage inquisitive minds to seek answers and connect STEM to the world around us.
