Assistant Curator, Tate Liverpool, £20,200 per annum, full-time

Tate Liverpool is one of the UK’s largest galleries of modern and contemporary art. The Exhibitions and Displays team ensures the highest standards of ideas, research, care and coordination as they manage our varied and innovative programme.

Working closely with the Director, Head of Exhibitions & Displays and other Curators in the team, you’ll organise and deliver major exhibitions, events and collection displays at Tate Liverpool. You’ll assist in the preparation of scale layouts and exhibition installations, while taking responsibility for research, loan administration and negotiation, minute-taking and processing invoices. An advocate of our aims and on-going communications across Tate, you’ll also provide lectures, gallery talks, press briefings and tours.

Together with a postgraduate qualification in a relevant discipline such as History of Art (or similar), you’ll have a sound knowledge of twentieth century and contemporary art. You’ll also need experience of working in a museum or gallery, as well as proven budget administration skills and excellent presentation abilities. The ability to speak another language would be advantageous, but above all you’ll have an imaginative approach and a meticulous eye for detail.
