  • Conceptualise and curate content for the Founders’ Memorial’s galleries, pilot exhibitions, and other curatorial-related projects, including digital projects, indoor and outdoor installations, citizen engagement, seminars, publications, amongst others     

  • Present, convince and engage stakeholders on curatorial frame and storytelling  

  • Work collaboratively with exhibition designers, collection managers, conservators, artists, curators, programme managers, public service agencies and other related parties on curatorial projects and the development of collections     

  • Identify and acquire relevant artefacts for the National Collection  

[What we are looking for]

  • Background in History or the Humanities or other disciplines relevant to Singapore’s post-independence history and nation building policies   

  • Preferably at least 3 years of experience in related curatorial and research work, with keen knowledge and passion for Singapore’s post-independence history and heritage, and its relevance to the present and future   

  • Proven excellence in research, analytical, writing and presentation skills   

  • Ability to think creatively and imaginatively, with strengths in synthesising information from different sources and storytelling   

  • Ability to communicate well, convince stakeholders, and facilitate interviews and engagement sessions     

  • Resourcefulness, and strength in knowledge, research, project and stakeholder management     

  • Able to work independently and as part of a core team    

  • Background in museum or exhibition curation    

  • Experience in public service will be viewed favourably      

  • Effectively bilingual in English and another language   

  • This position is only open to Singaporeans
