The PMC is looking for a Networks Manager (Parental Leave Cover) to manage the delivery of the Centre’s Networks and further develop our offer of networking events and skill development programmes.

The PMC’s Networks connect and support researchers who are engaging with British art in its broadest sense, at different stages of their working lives. The networks currently include the Doctoral Researchers Network (DRN), Early Career Researchers Network (ECRN) and the British Art Network (BAN), a subject-specialist network supported by PMC in partnership with Tate. The programming of each network is led by a convenor: annually appointed external convenors in the case of the ECRN and DRN; the Head of Grants, Networks and Learning in the case of BAN. Additionally, the PMC Networks team run programmes and events to support the vocational development of emerging researchers and professionals, currently including the British Art in Motion film competition and the Art Trade Seminar. During 2025 our Networks programme will be developed and refined, with a new consolidated network for emerging researchers. The post-holder will undertake the final planning and implementation of the new network.

This post is a fixed-term contract for a minimum period of 10 months, full-time and the hours of work are 35 per week. Salary will be £44,000 p.a.

Art UK and The Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art (PMC) are inviting proposals for a workshop and resources, for young people (14–19 years old) across the UK, that explore how personal and critical responses to art can be shared through writing. The workshop and resources will have a particular emphasis on visual literacy and critical looking, instilling confidence in sharing personal perspectives and the range of ways art can be responded to through writing. The workshop and resources will also invite young people to submit entries to the Write on Art competition, run by Art UK and PMC.

The deadline for applications is 10am GMT Tuesday 29 October 2024.
