Originally endowed in 1956, the Pilkington Chair has been the beacon for History of Art at Manchester for nearly fifty years. In the recent past, the Chair has been held by distinguished art historians at the forefront of the discipline. The next Pilkington Chair we hope will be similarly influential in shaping the future direction of art history. Art History & Visual Studies is part of a large Faculty of Humanities offering exciting opportunities for collaboration with other disciplines and research centres. AHVS was ranked fourth out of 30 art history departments in the UK in the Research Assessment Exercise of 2008. This new appointment is aimed at maintaining our strongly competitive position. The person appointed may have expertise in any area of art history. You will have an outstanding research and publication record and will be expected to make a distinctive contribution to AHVS’s innovative teaching and thriving research culture, as well as provide intellectual leadership for the subject area and more broadly. The post is available from 1 September 2012 or as soon as possible thereafter. Salary is negotiable within the professorial range. For further particulars and information about how to apply for this vacancy (Ref: HUM - 00425) please visit: www.worldleadingminds.manchester.ac.uk Informal inquiries may be made to Professor David Lomas, Head of Subject, Art History & Visual Studies (email: david.c.lomas@manchester.ac.uk).   Lecturer in Art History - University of Manchester, UK We are seeking to appoint a specialist in European or non-European art in the period from 1700 to the present.

Already a drawcard for art history students, the Whitworth is about to undergo a spectacular £12 million Heritage Lottery-funded refurbishment, with a major expansion of teaching facilities. In response to the needs of our students, we have also developed a strand of teaching within our undergraduate curriculum on the history of collecting and display. It is expected that the appointee will discover ways of engaging with the Whitworth and its rich collections, and make a contribution to teaching in these areas. In addition to your primary specialism, you should have (or be willing to develop) an interest in some aspect of the history of exhibitions, display or collecting.

Intern projects include: Exhibition preparation, print cataloging, creating finding aids for the paper archive, catalogue preparation, assisting with educational curricula, database work, document translation, independent research projects, and more. We are seeking: Highly motivated graduate or undergraduate students or recent graduates of Art History, History, Jewish Studies, and/or Library Science. Exhibition or archival experience is preferred. We will provide training in photo handling and Jewish visual culture. We are also seeking interns fluent in German and Russian to translate and research important documents dating from the 1930s-1980s. To apply: Please email a current resume, letter of interest, and contact information (including phone numbers) for three references to Rachel Travis at rtravis@icp.org. Please include both professional and academic references. Internships are unpaid, but offer other perks. We are happy to work with academic departments to provide school credit for internships.
