Responsible for the care, documentation, research, presentation, publication, and strengthening of the museums’ exceptional collection of analog and digital photographs and its emerging collection of time-based photographic media, including projection, installation, video and film. The curator/associate curator is expected to be an intellectual authority on, and to assume the full range of curatorial responsibility for, the collection of photographs and time-based photographic media, which span from the early nineteenth century to the present and to advise on related matters at the university when needed. The curator/associate curator crafts an ambitious exhibition, research and publication program for photographs and time-based photographic art 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/associate curator works within a team environment and promotes dialogue, engagement, and collaboration with colleagues within the Division of Modern and Contemporary Art and with other curatorial divisions that have overlapping collection holdings and expertise. The associate 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 projects, and publications, from individuals, foundations, federal agencies and other sources.
