About Eric Dorfman
In July 2023, I will begin my tenure as the President of the Linda Hall Library, in Kansas City MO. Before this, I’ve been in both academic and museum settings, most recently a research professor in the Department of Marine, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at North Carolina State University and CEO of the Museum of Natural Sciences. My first leadership role was as the Director of Whanganui Regional Museum in New Zealand and I’ve led others, including Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Museum of Natural History.I’m also active internationally, most recently serving as an executive board member of the International Council of Museums (ICOM) and for nine years served as chair of ICOM’s International Committee for Museums and Collections of Natural History (NATHIST), as well as deputy chair of the international ethics committee (ETHCOM).
