Senior Science & Research Staff

Carnegie Museum of Natural History is home to an active research community. Our scientists care for the millions of objects in the museum’s extensive collection and use them to study the natural world.

For more than 100 years, museum staff members have gone on expeditions, made discoveries, and contributed new insights to the scientific community while caring for one of the largest natural history collections in the country.

For more science and research staff, visit each section page individually.
