We are currently recruiting for an Assistant Curator for the Metalwork section in the Decorative Art and Sculpture department.

This is one of seven Assistant Curator posts that sit in the Decorative Art and Sculpture Department. As such, the main purpose of the job is to provide curatorial support in the development, care of, documentation and research, presentation and interpretation of a part of V&A’s Collection, in this case the Decorative Art and Sculpture Department. Assistant Curators spend a significant portion of their time working on object-related activity that pertains to the care and display of collections, maintaining documentation and developing interpretation to allow for their presentation to wide audiences.

As a member of the Decorative Art and Sculpture Department, the postholder will also play a role in the wider work of the V&A, contributing to policy, projects and public programmes and supporting fundraising and income generation. Assistant Curators also play a role in their relevant department and will be part of the community supporting the museum’s scholarship in the Decorative Art and Sculpture Department. In short, this is a wide-ranging role in which the postholder will be able to develop their skills in all aspects of museum curation.
