Evon Streetman and significant holdings of the work of international contemporary photographers. A dedicated endowment for photography acquisitions will be available to the new curator for development of the collection.

The museum has an established record of major photography exhibitions, including shows drawn from a local private collection of modernist photography. These exhibitions have included the work of the f.64 Group, Andre Kertesz, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Czech Modernism, Sebastiao Salgado, and Ansel Adams. The School of Art and Art History, with strong studio and art history programs in photography, provides opportunities for interaction with professional colleagues and collaborative educational programming.

Other responsibilities include preparation of installations from the permanent collection, conception and implementation of exhibitions and related publications, original research for publication, lectures for academic audiences and the general public, cultivation of donor relationships, and conception and development of grant projects in collaboration with the
grant specialist and others.

A Master’s degree in an appropriate area of specialization is required; a PhD in art history with specialization in the history of photography is strongly preferred.
