The National Portrait Gallery in London are looking for a part-time 'Curator, Missing Narratives on Women.'
As the gallery's website explains;
The post holder will conduct a three-year research project to identify gaps in the collection with an emphasis on female sitters and artists. In addition, the post holder will work with the curatorial team on acquisitions and the Gallery’s Contemporary Commissions programme with the aim of filling gaps in the permanent collection that have been identified within the Inspiring People Missing Narratives research project.
The role is 24 hours (3 days) per week with a salary of £18,469 per annum.
Of equal interest is that the role is being funded by the luxury fashion brand CHANEL (you would have thought more money might have been found to make the role full time?). Considering the NPG's recent ethical awakening in rejecting money from oil and pharma companies (see below), let's hope they've thought through the implications of this partnership.
Applications close on 25th May 2020.
