University of Cambridge
Post Date: 18 Jan 2025
JOB OVERVIEW
As Exhibitions Co-ordinator, you will help bring Cambridge University Library’s exhibition and public programmes to life. Our exhibitions enable communities to interpret the collections we hold, engage audiences with the research happening in the wider university, and provide a gateway for people to access the collections we hold. We are recruiting an Exhibitions Co-ordinator to help deliver our programme over the next two years. Working with the Head of Exhibitions and Public Programmes, you will be responsible for the practical delivery and installation of the major exhibitions in the Milstein Exhibition Centre and accompanying interpretation which hangs down the library’s main corridor. We programme one major exhibition a year. You’ll get the chance to work on shows related to the friendship between two giants of poetry, and a major exhibition on Black British history. We are looking for someone with experience of delivering exhibitions in a museum, gallery, or library. You will need great organisational, time-management, and people skills. You’ll have the ability to negotiate with multiple stakeholders across the library, university, and beyond. This is a 2-year funded post in the first instance for 18.25 hours per week (FTE 0.5) to 29.2 hours per week (FTE 0.8). Applications are welcome from internal candidates who would like to apply for the role on the basis of a secondment from their current role in the University.
