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 Bringing together art-historical information, contemporary film and literature, unpublished primary documents and essays by leading scholars, the site will provide a range of material unavailable elsewhere in either digital or printed form.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. You should be naturally organised, communicative and highly literate with proven administration skills and the flexibility to work well in a team. You will have relevant research experience and be enthusiastic about working on an innovative online scholarly project.
