Mae'r rôl arwain strategol hon yn gyfle i siapio sut mae amgueddfa genedlaethol Cymru yn mynd i'r afael â heriau bioamrywiaeth ac amgylcheddol byd-eang trwy ein casgliadau o'r radd flaenaf ac ymchwil arloesol.

Byddwch yn arwain tîm o guraduron ac ymchwilwyr, yn ennill nawdd gan gyrff fel UKRI a'r Gymdeithas Frenhinol ac yn sicrhau bod ein casgliadau sŵoleg yn parhau i fod yn berthnasol ac yn hygyrch.
