The Hamilton Kerr Institute (HKI) is one of the world's leading centres for teaching and research in conservation and heritage science.
Temporary exhibitions are where the Museum meets its audiences directly.

The ambitious and innovative programme of exhibitions and displays are designed to transform and enhance the visitors' experience and engagement with the collections. They will be developed as a precursor, and incubator for ideas, leading to the Masterplan.

The successful candidate will be assigned to specific projects and will act on initiative and most often independently to identify key issues and drive through activities to a successful and timely conclusion. They will ensure these outputs match the Museum's aspirations and are delivered collaboratively and with rigour, paying close attention to scope, quality, programme and budget.
In return, we offer a supportive and inclusive workplace, a generous pension scheme, substantial holiday allowance, and a range of employee benefits, including retail discounts.

        <![CDATA[The Fitzwilliam Museum: Opening up the past to transform our futures.
As the principal museum of the University of Cambridge and the largest cultural venue in the region, The Fitzwilliam Museum acts as a crucial bridge between the University, the City and the rest of the world, and has an international reputation for extraordinary research, world class exhibitions, award-winning public programmes and significant collections spanning many cultures and centuries. The Hamilton Kerr Institute (HKI) is one of the world's leading centres for teaching and research in conservation and heritage science.
We invite applicants for the role of Assistant Painting Conservator to contribute to the commercial and Museum conservation activities undertaken by the HKI at a level commensurate with the basic knowledge of a recent graduate, who is still building the experience necessary to become eligible for a position as a Painting Conservator able to work unsupervised and independently.
Responsibilities will include the supervised undertaking of practical conservation treatments with associated documentation, and the technical investigation of paintings through a range of standard investigative and analytical techniques, of which the role holder typically only has a basic or theoretical understanding. It also includes the introduction to, and participation in, the environmental monitoring and upkeep on site, implementation of preventive measures, in situ survey- and practical work, and day-to-day logistical tasks associated with the above activities and with meeting H&amp;S requirements for safe working. In all cases, activities will be supervised and supported by other HKI staff.
The role aims to expand and develop the role holder's basic knowledge by setting relevant work tasks of increasing complexity, both practically and academically. The role holder will be supported in their further learning through being given the time to participate in relevant workshops held at the HKI, attending invited speaker talks, and the occasional attendance at conservation-focused conferences, e.g. in London, as appropriate to their individual development.
The Assistant Conservator may be involved in research projects led by others and may contribute to publication and dissemination of research in written and oral form, depending on the development of their documentation and research skills honed over their tenure. Some role holders may instead focus fully on gaining further and broader practical experience by undertaking a growing range of conservation work at increasing levels of difficulty, as commensurate with their skill level. At the end of the tenure, the role holder will be in a strong position to secure similar positions in other institutions, e.g. two- or three-year fellowships offered by other museum- and conservation research centres, where their skillset can be augmented beyond what the Hamilton Kerr Institute offers. They may also, in some cases, be eligible for an entry-level position as Painting Conservators in private practice or in museums, or on large-scale research projects, e.g. as Conservation Research Assistants
In return, we offer a supportive and inclusive workplace, a generous pension scheme, enhanced family leave, substantial holiday allowance, and a range of employee benefits, including retail discounts.
The University actively supports equality, diversity and inclusion and encourages applications from all sections of society. The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK.
Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 1 years in the first instance.
Once an offer of employment has been accepted, the successful candidate will be required to undergo a security check.

We invite applications for the role of Museum Educator. This role contributes to unlocking the Fitzwilliam Museum's collections in ways that ensure that talent and capability of children, young people and their families is enhanced and acknowledged as a vital part of the cultural life of the city, region and beyond.
This role works as part of a team delivering high quality facilitated sessions to school-age young people in the museum, in schools and other community settings in Cambridgeshire.

The collections are used as a springboard from which a wide variety of curriculum subjects can be explored including history, art, geography, languages, technology, science, maths, creative writing, RE, and music. Teaching is by discussion rather than instruction, and sessions aim to build up the skills, and capabilities of children and young people with the aim that they can make new connections, and share perspectives to explore, respond, contribute to and question society today. We aim for all connections with the museum to contribute to the achieving of the Fitzwilliam Museum vision through the application of our mission and the exploration of the 4 pillars of the Learning and Public Programme: Creating Opportunity; Society and Identity; Health and Wellbeing and Identity.
