Leeds, United Kingdom University of Leeds Full time

**Art Exhibition Intern**:
**This post is open to registered University of Leeds students who remain registered during the appointment period (5th June to 31st July 2023) only.**

**Salary: Grade 3 (£20,578 - £21,761 p.a.)**

**Fixed-term for 84 hours between 5 June and 31 July 2023 over 1 or 2 days per week with exact pattern to be agreed upon appointment.**

This role is located in the Stanley & Audrey Burton Gallery, Parkinson Building (with scope for hybrid working)

**Are you a current student at the University of Leeds with an interest in art collections, gender and LGBTQ+ stories? Would you like to gain valuable experience of developing an exhibition within a busy University library art gallery?**

The University of Leeds is one of the top 135 universities in the world. We have a truly global community, with more than 39,000 students from 170 different countries and over 9,000 staff of 100 different nationalities. Established in 1904, we have a strong tradition of academic excellence, reflected in first-class student education, along with world-leading research that has a real impact around the globe.

The Stanley & Audrey Burton Gallery offers innovative art exhibitions and displays treasures from the University Art Collection and the Leeds University Libraries Special Collections. We support opportunities for researchers, students and the general public to understand and appreciate our shared historical legacy, through preserving, researching and promoting our collections.

As an Art Exhibition Intern you’ll be involved in the research, administration and interpretation development of the Autumn temporary exhibition at the Stanley & Audrey Burton Gallery: _Contested Bodies_ (working title). You’ll have the rare chance to work as part of our curatorial team, enhance your employability and develop key skills and experience for your CV.

The exhibition _Contested Bodies_ will explore gendered identities and representation. The exhibition will be inclusive of both feminine and masculine identities as well as trans and non-binary identities. The exhibition will feature artworks by over thirty significant contemporary artists from the renowned Marcelle Joseph and the GIRLPOWER Collection, including Alberta Whittle, Jala Wahid, Jonathan Baldock, Lindsey Mendick, Sin Wai Kin and Zadie Xa. In addition, some key pieces by female-identifying artists from the University of Leeds’ Special Collections will be included in the permanent display area as interventions in direct conversation with the artworks in the main temporary exhibition. The exhibition borrows its title from a module in Leeds' Gender Studies MA titled ‘Contested Bodies’ and we are hoping to connect with the research and academic work currently developed at the University.

**What we offer in return**
- 26 days holiday plus 16 Bank Holidays/days that the University is closed by custom (including Christmas) - that’s 42 days a year
- Generous pension scheme options plus life assurance
- Health and Wellbeing: Discounted staff membership options at The Edge, our state-of-the-art Campus gym, with a pool, sauna, climbing wall, cycle circuit, and sports halls.
