The British Library in London are looking for a Curator of Prints and Drawings.
According to the job description:
The British Library is looking to recruit a full-time Curator with a specialist interest in 16th-18th century prints. This post is supported by a grant from the Getty Foundation as part of its Paper Project initiative. It offers an exceptional scholarly and professional development opportunity to an emerging works-on-paper curator who will create records for prints in our national collection which have remained hidden and under-studied, categorised to date as books, maps, manuscripts or music. They will be a fully integrated member of the curatorial staff of the Printed Heritage department and supported by colleagues across the Library.
The salary on offer is £26,000 per annum* and the deadline for applications is 12th September 2021.
Good luck if you're applying!
* - As a side note, here's an equivalent position at the Rijksmuseum that was advertised last month. The salaries are not so equivalent, as you'll be able to see...
