Job Summary

The Harvard Art Museums have an exciting opportunity to support the staff and activities in the Materials Lab (M/Lab), an environment where members of the Harvard campus and the Museums' wider communities can explore art making as a means of learning and knowing. Programs explore the dynamic relationship between maker, materials and tools, as well as the physical lives of artworks through close-looking, hands-on experimentation, and interaction with experts. This individual provides logistical oversight and assists with the planning and implementation of workshops including the two-week Summer Institute for Technical Studies in Art (SITSA), a specialized training program for graduate students in art history that runs June 2-15, 2024. These activities and initiatives serve the Materials Lab's broader vision to foster interdisciplinary, hands-on inquiry into processes and materials of artmaking in support of the art museums' and university's goals to spark curiosity, creativity and wonder, break down barriers, create new knowledge, and contribute to individual and community well-being.
Note: This is a full-time six-month term position that starts in April and continues through September. This position is benefits-eligible. During the two weeks of the SITSA workshops some overtime is likely. Please see
