Description

The Royal Academy of Arts is delighted to be partnering with Genesis Foundation to deliver our newly developed two-year _Genesis Future Curator Programme_.

We have two positions available on the programme, both of which will provide a unique and valuable opportunity to gain a 360 degree view of the life of a Curator at the RA, in addition to broader insights of the inner workings of our organisation.

Genesis Future Curator - Collections

This opportunity sits with our Collections Team, who curate and manage the Royal Academy's world-leading collection of art across paintings, sculpture, furniture, silver, artists' materials, works on paper, film and photography.

On a day-to-day basis you will work alongside the team on tasks and projects that will range from researching and cataloguing objects, enabling and supervising external researchers to access the collections, responding to public enquiries, liaising with artists and conservators, shadowing the realisation of displays from their inception to their hang and participating in curatorial meetings and planning and programming of future displays.

To be considered for this opportunity, you will have gained experience completing an arts related degree and have a keen appetite for learning.

Excellent communication skills are key as is fluency in written English and the ability to craft and edit well written and compelling text.

You will also possess razor sharp attention to detail, great organisation skills and have the ability to self-motivate and work well under pressure.

We will develop a cohesive training and skills development programme for this position so that at the point of completing the programme, you will have fostered the knowledge and skills for a long and successful career in the arts.
