JOB - Curator of Academic Programs, Ian Potter Museum of Art, Melbourne [15.12.2009]
UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY AT THE POTTER
Announcing a unique initiative commencing at The Potter in 2010, supported by the Ian Potter Foundation.
The Ian Potter Museum of Art is currently recruiting for the inaugural Curator of Academic Programs at the Potter, the first such position offered by a university art museum in Australia. Modelled on successful programs at major American university art museums, this three-year position will establish curriculum links between art and collections, exhibitions and academic programs at the University of Melbourne. This is not an education officer or public programs position; it seeks to integrate encounters with art works, exhibitions, collection research and exhibition development with the tertiary curriculum. We are seeking applicants with a commitment to museum-based research and learning, an understanding of interdisciplinary curricula, and the capacity to act as an advocate recruiting academic staff as partners.
