[oberlist] Curatorial Position: AUB Beirut

[Angela Harutyunyan]

Gallery Director/Curator

The American University of Beirut is embarking on a major initiative
in the visual arts. We will shortly be opening two new exhibition
galleries. The first will house a small permanent collection of
paintings, primarily by Lebanese artists from the early 20th century.
The second will showcase temporary, rotating exhibitions,
concentrating primarily on contemporary art. We are seeking a dynamic
Director/Curator to take responsibility for these galleries.
Familiarity with the local Lebanese art milieu and regional artistic
developments is strongly recommended.

The position carries an academic appointment in the Department of Fine
Arts and Art History, and a close working relationship with the
department is envisaged. The successful candidate will integrate the
art exhibition spaces as much as possible with the teaching
curriculum. Ideally, courses in curatorship will be taught as well.

Candidates should possess at minimum an MFA in studio arts, or an MA
in art history, curatorial or museum studies. Curatorial experience is
expected.

Interested applicants should send a cover letter, curatorial
portfolio, CV, and three references. Review of files will begin on
February 1, 2012 and will continue until the post is filled.

All application material should be sent to:
Office of the Provost
