Position: Postdoctoral Fellowship in Museum Practices and Scholarly Engagements
Type: Postdoctoral Opportunities
Location: Remote
The Gund, the academic museum of Kenyon College, is dedicated to fostering a vibrant environment for artistic exploration and scholarly inquiry. Established in 2011, The Gund has rapidly developed a notable exhibition program that showcases significant works of late twentieth and twenty-first century art, while also nurturing a growing collection of over four hundred pieces.
The inaugural Postdoctoral Fellowship in Museum Practices and Scholarly Engagements is designed to provide essential experience for emerging scholars aspiring to pursue careers in museum education and curatorial roles. This fellowship aims to enhance the educational mission of The Gund by integrating contemporary art into the academic curriculum, impacting over 1500 students across various disciplines each semester.
The fellow will work closely with the Deputy Director of Curatorial Affairs and Education, who will provide mentorship throughout the fellowship. The focus will be on investigating lesser-known aspects of the permanent collection to create valuable resources for faculty, thereby enriching the teaching and learning experience with art.

Additionally, the fellow will organize workshops aimed at sharing research findings with faculty, fostering a community of intellectual discourse centered on art at The Gund. Participation in the museum's activities will be integral to the fellowship experience, with access to The Gund's collection, exhibitions, and Kenyon's academic resources.
