Director & Curator of the Perlman Teaching Museum – Carleton College
The
Director-Curator
provides leadership in arts programming based in the Perlman Teaching Museum. A specialist in and advocate for visual teaching and learning, the Director-Curator oversees exhibit planning, develops strong collaborative relationships with faculty, and fosters and strengthens the pedagogical role of exhibitions and the art collection in the college. In this role, you will report to the Puzak Family Director of the Arts. This is a full-time (1.0 FTE) benefit eligible position. As a “teaching museum,” the Perlman emphasizes the role that art plays in posing questions about life. Exhibitions examine how artworks give aesthetic form to ideas, and spark conversations between and across disciplines. Museum professionals work with the campus community to present public programs, curatorial seminars, and exhibition projects. The Facility, at 7,800 square feet, offers two handsome galleries and fully equipped support spaces. The public spaces comprise the soaring Braucher Gallery, with 24-foot ceilings and an adjustable lighting grid, and the more intimate Kaemmer Family Gallery. Downstairs is a classroom, specially designed for studying objects from the College Art Collection. The successful candidate
has a graduate degree in art history, museum studies, or equivalent; demonstrated experience (3 or more years) organizing exhibitions and managing collections; excellent writing and communication skills. Previous people management experience is preferred. Review of applications
begins February 3, 2020, and continues until the hire is complete. For more specific information about the position and how to apply, visit:
