The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York are looking for a Curator in Charge of European Paintings.
As the job statement explains:
The Curator in Charge is the intellectual and administrative leader of the Department of European Paintings, one of the world’s great collections of European painting from about 1250 to the last decades of the 19th century. Cultivating a spirit of strong collaboration and intellectual discourse together with an outstanding team, the Curator in Charge will have the opportunity to reinstall the entire Old Master section of the collection in 2022, and further rethink and improve the presentation of the 19th century galleries.
Candidates will have to have ten years of direct experience, a PhD and a good working knowledge of European languages.
Deadline for applications is 22nd January 2021. Good luck if you're applying!
Coincidentally, here is a page discussing the museum's ongoing European Paintings Skylighting Project and a new display entitled A New Look at Old Masters.
