Senior Curator
Full-Time | $90 - 100,000, Depending on experience

Weisman Art Museum is seeking a Senior Curator to direct the museum's exhibitions program and collection development. This senior staff role requires a seasoned curatorial leader: a responsive mentor for WAM curatorial staff; a thoughtful partner to public engagement and learning, registration, and development teams; and a capable project lead with strong organizational and workflow management acumen, as well as a proven track record of conceiving ambitious curatorial projects and bringing them to fruition. 

WAM's Senior Curator will work closely with the Director to define the museum’s curatorial vision and philosophy. Successful candidates will be adept at translating that vision into engaging exhibitions, while navigating the particulars of project management, cross-team collaboration, and budget to keep curatorial projects on track. The Senior Curator reports to the Director and works closely with other staff members — one-on-one and in committees — to fulfill the responsibilities of this position.
