Medical Museion is seeking an commercial co-ordinator to our commercial activities and projects from 1 November 2023. This includes administrative support for our programme of stakeholder-focused events and workshops (Appendix), other mission-related commercial activities.

About Medical Museion & our Commercial Activities We are an internationally recognised research museum (www. museion.ku.dk) that reimagines health and medicine by engaging the public, doing research, teaching and working with our collections. Based in Copenhagen University's Public Health Department (www. ifsv.ku.dk), we are also part of the Novo Nordisk Foundation Centre for Basic Metabolic Research (www. cbmr.ku.dk). In each context, our work helps bridge academic research into society, and adds perspectives from medical humanities to multidisciplinary investigations. Our commercial activities are mission-focused and enable us to enrich our public and stakeholder offer, as well as to raise funds to support our other public activities.

As a new activity we are developing the Appendix room, where we host object- based debates and stakeholder meetings, as well as education workshops and other public events.

At the same time, we are also overlooking our overall activities in Front of House (the public part of the Museum), to see how we can improve the visitor experience in addition to the exhibitions and events.
