Other roles with Curating for Change:
We are also recruiting eight Fellows at other museums. These longer, 18-month Fellowships are designed to provide experience and support to those with some museum experience to develop their careers. Recruitment for the first cohort of four Fellows has already closed, but we will be recruiting the second cohort in Spring 2022. These placements will be at the Black Country Living Museum (Dudley), National Railway Museum (York), the Museum of Liverpool, and the Ashmolean/Pitt Rivers Museums (joint placement, Oxford).
All Fellows and Trainees will have opportunities to connect with our whole network of 18 museums, maximising their connections to a range of museums across the sector.
If you would like to apply for one of these roles when recruitment opens, please contact Jane Sparkes at cfc@accentuateuk.org to be added to our mailing list and receive updates.
