Adjunct Curator, Indigenous Art

Job Introduction

Tate is seeking to engage an experienced researcher or curator with in-depth, specialist knowledge of Indigenous art with a particular emphasis on Southwest Asia and North Africa (SWANA region), to be an Adjunct Curator for the Hyundai Tate Research Centre: Transnational. The Adjunct Curator will carry out research for Tate from their country of residence as the role will be remote.

The Adjunct Curator will work closely and in a collaborative way with colleagues in the Hyundai Tate Research Centre: Transnational and will liaise with various other Tate departments, such as Curatorial, Research, Collection and Development departments.

Tate already has an extensive network of contacts internationally (including artists, collectors and arts professionals) however the role requires the further development of this network and dissemination of information and knowledge throughout Tate to further develop the internal knowledge base in Indigenous art.

Owing to Tate's status as a National Collection and to avoid any conflict of interest, we regret that applications from those working for other collecting institutions and/ or individuals and those working in the commercial sector (e.g. commercial galleries and auction houses) cannot be considered.

This contract is offered on a 2.5 year fixed term freelance contract. The time spent on the work is flexible and discretionary, however the institution expects the Adjunct Curator to devote the equivalent to 21.6 hours per week to fulfil their obligations under the contract. Eligibility to work in the UK is essential.
