Position Summary and Responsibilities 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 inception. Between then and now the collection has 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 photographs, as well as Old Master paintings and works on paper. The curator oversees approximately 9,000 prints and drawings, with current areas of concentration in European prints and drawings (1500 to 1980); American prints and drawings (1800 to the present); and Japanese prints and scrolls (1750 to 1950). The collection supports the educational mission of the Loeb Art Center through faculty and student use, as well as an ambitious schedule of exhibitions offered to all of our audiences. The Loeb Art Center seeks an experienced individual with superb academic credentials and the ability to help formulate and to advance a vision for a college art museum. In addition to an emphasis on prints and drawings, the Curator is expected to be knowledgeable about global developments and a diverse array of media. Moreover, teaching up to one course a year may be an option depending on the annual curricular needs of the Art Department.
