Join an established community of nationally significant visual practitioners.
Expand the possibilities of curatorial practice through creative/studio outcomes.
Monash Art Design & Architecture (MADA) seeks an inspirational and accomplished curator to lead its new discipline of curatorial practice. The appointment is at Associate Professor level.
This is a rare opportunity for a person of vision to create a niched program, beginning with the project-based PhD in Curatorial Practice, building to an international centre of curatorial research and education.
The Associate Professor and Director will be an accomplished curator with a strong international network of professional and academic colleagues. Ideally they will have academic experience and an advanced qualification in a relevant field, and/or commensurate expertise and professional experience. They will have demonstrated capacity to establish and lead curatorial discourse and practice.
