New opportunity: EARC Curatorial Researcher

The Eastern Arc universities are home to outstanding art collections, rare archives and unique repositories.

The radical founding principles of UEA, Essex and Kent allowed us to think differently about what should be preserved, and how it should be curated.

We had the freedom to focus on new areas of study, from political cartoons and stand-up comedy, to regional film-making and the art of Latin America.

Now, as part of our involvement in the CHASE doctoral training partnership, we are offering the chance for a PhD student to work within our archives and special collections, to develop their skills and gain insights into curatorship.

Working across our universities, you will be working with our archivists and curators to study our collections and identify commonalities and complementarities between them.

The deadline for applying is 25 March 2022. To find out more, go to the CHASE website, here.
