About Vassar College
Located in the scenic Mid-Hudson Valley, Vassar College is a highly
selective, residential, coeducational liberal arts college. Vassar
stands upon the homelands of the Munsee Lenape.Vassar College is
deeply committed to increasing the diversity of the campus
community and to promoting an environment of equality, inclusion,
and respect for difference. The College is an Equal Opportunity and
Affirmative Action employer, and especially welcomes applications
from veterans, women, individuals with disabilities, and members of
racial, ethnic, and other historically underrepresented
groups.Vassar College is a smoke-free, tobacco-free campus.Note:
Vassar College has a universal vaccination policy requiring a
COVID-19 vaccination, including a booster, for all employees except
for those exempt for medical or religious reasons.
Position Summary and Responsibilities
Position Summary
Founded in 1861 as one of
the earliest women's colleges (and the first to become
co-educational in 1969), Vassar College opened its doors with both
an art gallery and an observatory, signaling Vassar's enduring
educational philosophy of sending students “to the source.”
Today's Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center, designed by Cesar Pelli, is
an accredited modern museum whose collections originated with a
superb acquisition of Hudson River School paintings at the
College's founding. The collection has since grown to more than
22,000 works, charting the history of art from ancient Egypt to the
present, and featuring important examples of modern and
contemporary painting, sculpture, and photography, as well as Old
Master paintings and works on paper.
The Loeb seeks an experienced individual to foster dynamic academic
engagement with our collections, connecting original works of art
to a wide variety of disciplines and interests. The ideal candidate
is a flexible and responsive educator, experienced with
facilitating dialogue around a broad range of topics in art for
diverse audiences and skilled at building collaborative, inclusive,
and sustainable partnerships with college faculty and students.
This position reports to the Assistant Director for Learning and
Community Engagement. Weekend and evening hours may occasionally be
required to accommodate after-hours programs or events.
We have a strong preference for candidates who add new disciplinary
knowledge to the Loeb team, such as expertise in Indigenous, Latin
American, African/African diasporic, or pre-modern art history.
Candidates from underrepresented groups in higher education and art
museums are strongly encouraged to apply. Applications will be
reviewed beginning April 24, 2023, and the position will remain
open until filled. Please include information in your cover letter
on how you work to create inclusive learning spaces.
Responsibilities
• Serve as Loeb's primary liaison to Vassar faculty, students,
and other campus constituents, promoting and facilitating the use
of the Loeb's collections and exhibitions to support teaching,
learning, and other forms of engagement with the arts. Activities
include identifying and developing curricular connections for the
permanent collection and temporary exhibitions; providing
orientation to the Loeb for new faculty members; serving as a
conduit for broader input regarding collections growth; and
contributing to courses across the College. While supporting these
activities at Vassar is the priority, this extends to other
regional colleges and universities as capacities permit.
• Oversee organization of interdisciplinary exhibitions/projects
with campus collaborators, including object selection, writing and
reviewing interpretive materials, developing related programming,
collaborating with staff and project partners, and performing
additional related duties as needed.
• Answer inquiries about the collection from faculty, students,
and outside scholars, as well as facilitate access to the
collection database, retrieval of works, and/or scheduling of class
visits as needed.
• Serve as a member of the Loeb's Programming team, developing
events that utilize faculty knowledge and interests, and advising
on outreach to campus audiences for Loeb events.
• Collaborate with other staff in advancing the Loeb's Diversity
Equity Access Inclusion (DEAI) statement, practices, values, and
goals.
• Participate in the Collections Discovery Initiative (CDI) team
to strategize and shape ideas about increased accessibility and
discoverability of the collection for campus collaborators.
• Maintain quantitative and qualitative data about collection
usage/visitation related to Academic Programs and use these
measures to inform priorities and areas for future growth.
• Hire, train, supervise, and mentor student curatorial
assistants and summer interns.
Qualifications
Qualifications:
• M.A. in art history or a related field required.
• Broad knowledge of the history of art, with a minimum of two
years experience teaching in a museum or gallery setting.
• Demonstrated commitment to DEAI practices.

community and to promoting an environment of equality, inclusion,

Position Summary and Responsibilities
Position Summary
Founded in 1861 as one of
the earliest women's colleges (and the first to become
co-educational in 1969), Vassar College opened its doors with both
an art gallery and an observatory, signaling Vassar's enduring
educational philosophy of sending students “to the source.”
Today's Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center, designed by Cesar Pelli, is
an accredited modern museum whose collections originated with a
superb acquisition of Hudson River School paintings at the
College's founding. The collection has since grown to more than
22,000 works, charting the history of art from ancient Egypt to the
present, and featuring important examples of modern and
contemporary painting, sculpture, and photography, as well as Old
Master paintings and works on paper.
The Loeb seeks an experienced individual to foster dynamic academic
engagement with our collections, connecting original works of art
to a wide variety of disciplines and interests. The ideal candidate
is a flexible and responsive educator, experienced with
facilitating dialogue around a broad range of topics in art for
diverse audiences and skilled at building collaborative, inclusive,
and sustainable partnerships with college faculty and students.
This position reports to the Assistant Director for Learning and
Community Engagement. Weekend and evening hours may occasionally be
required to accommodate after-hours programs or events.
We have a strong preference for candidates who add new disciplinary
knowledge to the Loeb team, such as expertise in Indigenous, Latin
American, African/African diasporic, or pre-modern art history.

permanent collection and temporary exhibitions; providing

with campus collaborators, including object selection, writing and
reviewing interpretive materials, developing related programming,
collaborating with staff and project partners, and performing

goals.
