Job Description

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Tate Britain curatorial department as Curator of Modern and Contemporary British Art. An experienced curator of art made in twentieth-century Britain, you will work as part of the Modern British Art team (covering c. 1900-1990). You will be responsible for the care and presentation of the twentieth-century Collection, in particular of those works within the period 1945-1990, and its development through acquisitions. You will be responsible for developing and delivering collection displays and curate exhibitions. A team player, you will be supervised by the Senior Curator, Modern and Contemporary British Art.

You will possess specialist knowledge of post-war British Art and will contribute to curatorial work on the Collection of British art within a global context. We welcome candidates who can bring new and under-represented perspectives and voices into their work with exhibitions and the Collection, particularly within the context of the legacies of colonialism, and ongoing racism and societal inequalities.

You will undertake the role in alignment with Tate\'s priorities, including those concerning our audiences, our environmental impact, and our staff values (to be open, bold, rigorous and kind). Tate actively supports equality, diversity and inclusion. We believe that diversity strengthens and enriches us, and are committed to helping to make the arts and cultural sector a more diverse and equal place.

When completing your application, please ensure to provide clear and concise examples.
