**About Western**:
Since 1878, Western University has been committed to serving our communities through the pursuit of academic excellence and by providing students, faculty, and community members with life-long opportunities for intellectual, social, and cultural growth. We seek excellent students, faculty, and staff to join us in what has become known as the "Western Experience" - an opportunity to contribute to a better world through the development of new knowledge, new abilities, new connections, and new ways to make a difference.

**About Us**:
A university-based, public art gallery since 1942, McIntosh Gallery collaborates with artists, curators and academics to develop innovative strategies to interpret and disseminate visual culture. Exhibitions, educational programs and special events provide a platform for engagement with visual art and artists. McIntosh Gallery is a centre for the presentation and dissemination of advanced practices and research in the fields of art history and contemporary visual art. The gallery is committed to serving the students, faculty and staff of Western University and the broader community of the City of London as a teaching and research resource. Ongoing programs and services actively promote innovative projects in the production, exhibition, interpretation and collection of visual culture.

**Responsibilities**:
The Curator (Collections and Special Projects) will contribute to advances in emerging museological and curatorial practices at the McIntosh Gallery, including collections, exhibitions, programming, access, and sustainability, while furthering and broadening our understanding of Canadian contemporary and historic art. Inspired and creative, the role will have a significant impact on identifying, developing, and implementing paradigm shifts in museum practices across all areas of the gallery. The position is divided between assigned special curatorial projects and general curatorial work, including research on the collection and new acquisitions, work on the presentation and interpretation of the collection, participation in exhibition and publishing projects, and opportunities to give public lectures and guided tours to a broad range of visitors. This role will act as an ambassador for the McIntosh at all levels of public engagement.

The Curator will develop, implement and manage a comprehensive collection audit to identify gaps, strengths, challenges, and opportunities for change and growth. The audit will inform the thinking and realignment of McIntosh’s collection focus, research, exhibitions, policies and procedures. Simultaneously, this position will lead the research, planning, and implementation of a de-colonizing strategy for the gallery, and work to broaden the inclusion of Indigenous Peoples, BIPOC, 2SLGBTQ+, global minorities and other equity-deserving groups and individuals. The Curator will play a key role in the future direction of the gallery through participation in strategic planning, feasibility studies, and business planning activities together with the development of related strategies informed by the results of the collection audit and de-colonizing work. In addition to forging a path forward for the McIntosh, this future oriented work will help advance relevant priorities identified in Western’s strategic plan.

**Qualifications**:
**Education**:

- Master’s Degree in Art History, Visual Culture, Museum Studies, Curatorial Practice or relevant discipline

**Experience**:

- 2 years of recent and progressive experience working within a public art gallery with collections and curatorial related duties
- Experience developing and conducting independent research projects and initiatives
- Experience leading, overseeing and coordinating volunteers, individuals, and teams
- Experience within a public or university gallery would be an asset

Knowledge, Skills & Abilities:

- Demonstrated knowledge and capacity to develop strategies toward decolonizing the collection and broader gallery practices
- Current knowledge of contemporary, historical, interdisciplinary, digital, and public art practices
- Knowledge of gallery methods and techniques including technical and aesthetic dimensions of collections, exhibition installation including planning, design, implementation, and all job-related technologies and best practice
- A commitment to view the art institution through a different lens, in a way that will facilitate an openness to consider and create a new way of working that compels the McIntosh to rethink what we do, who we do it for, and how we do it
- Evidence of curatorial achievement including research and publication, exhibition planning and execution, and collections management
- An inclusive and inspiring work philosophy that values and utilizes the expertise of div
