Curatorial Assistant with Emphasis in Textile Arts
Berea College

Berea College invites applications for a Curatorial Assistant with an emphasis in fibers and textile arts, beginning July 1, 2013.  This is a grant-funded, full-time, twelve-month, one-year position in the Art and Art History program, with full employee benefits. Berea College has undertaken a full inventory of its Art Collection.  The next stage of this process is to re-house and stabilize our textile collection, which consists of approximately 700 objects, ranging broadly in origin and material. The curatorial assistant will work closely with the Director and Curator to plan and implement a comprehensive and consistent re-housing of the textile collection.  Berea College is an undergraduate work college that offers a BA in Art with concentrations in studio art and art history.

Candidates should have completed an M.A. in textile conservation, art history, museum studies, historic preservation, or a related field and have previous museum-related experience. The ideal candidate will have demonstrated understanding of museum standards and their implementation; have strong communication, interpersonal, organizational, and planning skills; and have the ability to work both independently and on a team.

Please submit application materials to Dr. Eileen McKiernan González, Program Coordinator of Art and Art History, at [log in to unmask], including: letter of application, curriculum vita, short statement of research interests, three recommendation letters, and unofficial transcripts.  For full consideration, all application materials must be received by April 26, 2013.

Berea College achieved national distinction as the first coeducational and interracial college in the South. With an emphasis on service to the people of Appalachia and beyond, Berea enrolls 1,600 students from 40 states and 60 countries. As a reflection of its continuing commitment to interracial education, Berea is among the most racially diverse private liberal arts college in the United States. Berea admits only students whose families are unable to afford the high cost of tuition and awards each of them a four-year tuition scholarship.  Berea’s students excel in the College’s supportive but demanding academic environment, and many are the first in their families to graduate from college.  The College is one of seven federally recognized Work Colleges, and all students hold a labor position in which they work 10-12 hours per week.  Graduates distinguish themselves in a variety of fields, including social service, government, ministry, the arts, business, education, medicine, and science, and many go on to earn graduate degrees.

Located where the Bluegrass Region meets the Cumberland Mountains, the town of Berea (pop. 16,000) lies forty miles south of Lexington and is approximately two hours from Cincinnati, Louisville, and Knoxville.  More information about Berea College is available at www.berea.edu <http://www.berea.edu>.

Berea College, in light of its mission in the tradition of impartial love and social equality, welcomes all people of the earth to learn and work here.
