3 febrero, 2012 Ningún comentario

The American University of Beirut is embarking on a major initiative in the visual arts. We will shortly be opening two new exhibition galleries. The first will house a small permanent collection of paintings, primarily by Lebanese artists from the early 20th century. The second will showcase temporary, rotating exhibitions, concentrating primarily on contemporary art. We are seeking a dynamic Director/Curator to take responsibility for these galleries. Familiarity with the local Lebanese art milieu and regional artistic developments is strongly recommended.

The position carries an academic appointment in the Department of Fine Arts and Art History, and a close working relationship with the department is envisaged. The successful candidate will integrate the art exhibition spaces as much as possible with the teaching curriculum. Ideally, courses in curatorship will be taught as well.

Candidates should possess at minimum an MFA in studio arts, or an MA in art history, curatorial or museum studies. Curatorial experience is expected.

Interested applicants should send a cover letter, curatorial portfolio, CV, and three references. Review of files will begin on February 1, 2012
