Responsible for the care, documentation, research, presentation, publication, and for strengthening the collection of European and American prints. The curator of prints is expected to be an intellectual authority on, and to assume the full range of curatorial responsibility for, the collection of prints at the Museums and to advise on related matters at the university when needed. The curator crafts an ambitious exhibition, research and publication program for prints and works closely with students and faculty to foster a significant and sustained curricular use of the collection for both undergraduate and graduate teaching. The curator works within a team environment and promotes dialogue, engagement, and collaboration with colleagues within the division and with curatorial departments that have overlapping collection holdings and expertise. The curator recommends purchases, works closely with collectors and museum supporters, solicits gifts for the collection, and assumes an active role in soliciting funds for museum purposes, including acquisitions, exhibitions, conservation and technical analysis projects, and publications, from individuals, foundations, federal agencies and other sources.
