Research Co-ordinator (Camden Town Group Research Project)
Presented on the web, the Camden Town Research Project aims to create the central resource both for study of the Camden Town artists and their associates, and for understanding the wider cultural, social, economic and political society in which they lived. The works of art themselves will be the route through which wider contextual questions can be explored. Bringing together art-historical information, contemporary film and literature, unpublished primary documents and essays by leading scholars, the site will provide a range of material unavailable elsewhere in either digital or printed form.
Working closely with the project leader and an academic advisor, you’ll play central part in delivering the project. Varied tasks will include: undertaking research and proofing texts; providing the backbone of administration and organisation for the project; liaising between curators, authors and web professionals; organising a specialist conference.
You’ll need a post-graduate degree in a related subject or equivalent research experience with a strong grasp of the historical, cultural and theoretical contexts of early twentieth-century British art.

Associate Professor Cultural Heritage
The Department of Arts and Culture Studies of the Erasmus University Rotterdam has a vacancy for:
Associate Professor (UHD)
(f/m, 1.0 FTE)
in Cultural Heritage
Cultural heritage, both tangible and non-tangible, reflects the way we deal with our past. Heritage is a component of a cultural policy. It embodies an economic and legal entity, functions as a historical source, as an aesthetic object, serves as a tourist destination, and is the subject of controversies among nations. The global presence of heritage does not imply that heritage is divided equally everywhere or that all groups and people control their own heritage directly. The identity that individuals, groups and people derive from their heritage is constantly being defined differently within a permanent process of appropriations and exclusions. The dynamic way that culture has been globalised, visualised, virtualised and presented in the media means that heritage organisations will have to adapt their definition of preservation, management and presentation of heritage, and in the future this will lead to new relationships between heritage organisations, the public and heritage communities.
Job description:
