The V&A is the world’s leading museum of art, design, and performance. We care for 2.8 million objects that span over 5,000 years of human creativity. We are a family of museums including V&A South Kensington, V&A Dundee, V&A Collection at World of Wedgwood in Stoke-on-Trent, Young V&A (opening in July 2023) in Bethnal Green, and V&A East Museum and V&A East Storehouse in Stratford, east London (both currently under construction).
The V&A’s Collections Division comprises four Curatorial teams, a Research team, and a Conservation and Collections Care & Access team. The four Curatorial departments are: Decorative Art and Sculpture; Performance, Furniture, Textiles & Fashion; Art, Architecture, Photography & Design; and Asia.
These teams are at the heart of the founding purpose of the museum: to care for, research and develop the collections, to exhibit them to the public, to make them available for study and research, and to broaden access to the collections.
This is one of 2 Curator posts that sit in the Prints Section of the AAPD Department. The post holder will take responsibility for the development, care of, documentation and research, presentation, and interpretation of a part of V&A’s Collection, in this case, all prints 1500 - 1850 and the national collection of engraved ornament. As such, the post holder will be expected to represent the Museum at the highest level and play an active role in the fields of old master prints and early/early modern print collecting, nationally and internationally.
The salary range for this role is £30,100 - £34,444 per annum.
Closing date for all applications is Tuesday 30 May 2023 at 23:59.
