Parental Leave Backfill
Situated at the very heart of Melbourne in Federation Square, ACMI explores the rapid evolution and astonishing creativity of the moving image with a vibrant, multilayered program of exhibitions, screenings, installations and commissions, festivals, and public, industry & education programs. ACMI is the most successful museum of its kind in the world. It plays a vital part in establishing Melbourne as a global cultural destination. In 2017/18, ACMI attracted 1.55 million visitors to its Federation Square site, and 556,000 visitors to its national and international exhibition touring program.
As we rapidly evolve towards a knowledge economy, ACMI presents its stories and objects in unique ways, spanning the conventions of traditional museums and reflecting the innovation and evolution of the moving image in our fast-moving world. We are embarking on a visionary $40m redevelopment that will transform the institution, overhauling our permanent exhibition, dramatically improving the visitor experience, integrating cutting-edge technology and expanding our education programs. ACMI’s Fed Square site is planned to close for the redevelopment from March 2019.
As the project moves into the next phase, we have a fantastic opportunity for an experienced curator to help create the development of the curatorial framework, identify and craft the core stories only ACMI can tell. You will be supported by an Assistant Curator, writers and subject matter experts to help deliver the curatorial vision of the redevelopment.
You will join ACMI, bringing with you a wealth of experience curating cultural exhibitions including the successful identification and management of issues associated with curating major cultural heritage collections. Your value will come from your ability to work collaboratively as part of a large project team and your knowledge of technology and interactive media integration into the exhibition experience.
Applications close: 11.59pm Wednesday, 5 December 2018
Interviews will be held: Thursday, 13 December 2018
