We currently have the post of Project Assistant Curator (History & Archaeology) available.
As Project Assistant Curator (History & Archaeology), you will actively contribute to the ISM Curatorial Team and the ISM redevelopment.
Reporting directly to the Project Curator (History & Archaeology), you will undertake self-led research on the history, archaeology and legacies of transatlantic slavery. You will interpret collections for audiences, writing labels and object descriptions for new displays. You will also liaise with design contractors to help shape the content, look and feel of the redesigned museum.
As Project Assistant Curator, you will be actively involved in community-engagement activities. You will represent ISM at public events and respond to relevant requests for information from scholars, media organisations and members of the public. You will also use collections management software and play a hands-on role in acquisition and loan procedures.
Throughout all aspects of your work, the Project Assistant Curator should demonstrate knowledge of, and respect for, sensitivities associated with the history and legacies of racial slavery. You will be expected to work in a reflective manner and show care for collections and the people you work and interact with.
