The Denver Art Museum offers an outstanding opportunity to a dynamic,  
creative and entrepreneurial individual who is passionate about  
photography.  The new Associate Curator will establish and direct the  
department of Photography and Media Arts and raise it to regional and  
national prominence.

In 1922, the Denver Camera Club was founded as a branch of the Denver  
Art Museum; photography has been exhibited regularly at the museum  
since that time.  The museum’s photographic holdings currently  
encompass over 7000 works, including the renowned Wolf Collection of  
19th Century American landscape photography, and extensive holdings  
of work by Edward Curtis, David Francis Barry, and John Hillers. The  
twentieth century collection includes works by Bauhaus artist Herbert  
Bayer, Man Ray, Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, Clarence White, Laura  
Gilpin, Robert Adams, Diane Arbus and a distinguished group of Czech  
avant-garde photographers.  Contemporary artists include Lucas  
Samaras, Bernd and Hilla Becher, John Baldessari, Yasumasa Morimura  
and a host of artists who push the boundaries of electronic media  
arts.  The new curator is expected to assess and refine the existing  
collection, and establish future collecting priorities. Important  
responsibilities include organizing original photography exhibitions  
and curating rented shows, researching and publishing the collection,  
and collaborating with collectors, patrons and cultural organizations  
to generate engaging public programs.

The successful candidate for this position will have a strong  
national network of professional colleagues, collectors and dealers,  
and must be willing to travel.   A thorough historical and technical  
understanding of photography as an artistic medium is essential.   A  
substantial record of exhibitions and publications, and strong fund- 
raising and public speaking abilities are also necessary.  A  
demonstrated record of successful collaboration with curatorial  
colleagues, conservators, educators, designers and other museum  
professionals is expected.

Requirements:
Three or more years as a curator, or equivalent professional experience.
M.A. or M.F.A. required, Ph.D. preferred.
Ability to work collaboratively with a wide range of individuals both  
inside and outside the museum.

This is a full time benefited position.  Please send a letter of  
interest, Curriculum Vitae, and a list of references (with contact  
information) to the Denver Art Museum, 100 W 14th Ave Pkwy, Denver  
CO, 80204 Attn: Human Resources Coordinator or fax to 720-913-2768.   
Closing date:  October 15, 2007
