Pride & Prejudice Project Researcher Fine/Dec Art

National Museums Liverpool

This research post offers an exciting opportunity to be involved in National Museums Liverpool’s pioneering work in representing Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) lives, art, heritage, culture and history. With a grant from the Esmeé Fairbairn Collections Fund, we are undertaking a two-year project, ‘Pride and Prejudice’, to identify, research, catalogue and put online the LGBT and gender-focused objects in the collections of the Walker and Lady Lever Art Galleries, Sudley House, and the Museum of Liverpool (a researcher has been recruited for the latter). There will also be a busy programme of activity around this work, from new interpretation through to online information aimed at the museum profession. As well as undertaking the research and cataloguing, the post-holder will support other aspects of the project’s delivery. Our partners in the project include Royal Pavilion & Museums, Brighton & Hove, and Liverpool-based arts and social justice organisation, Homotopia.
Required Skills:
With an appropriate university degree, you will have excellent research, outward facing communication and organisational skills, and demonstrate a sensitivity to, and understanding of, LGBT heritage, culture and identity.
