Happy New Year (are we still allowed to say that?)! We’re back in gear at UCD with a new academic term, so artsmanagement.ie is back with a fresh new crop of listings! Lots of great jobs on offer at the moment, spanning all artforms and career levels — and a few plum internships too — but there are two opportunities I’d especially like to highlight:

(1) UCD is hiring a new Art Collections Curator — this is a really great post that rarely comes up, managing our wonderful and diverse collection, overseeing acquisitions and commissioning for the university, etc — search under ‘Estate Services’ for all the deets — it closes 29 January, so get your skates on this weekend!

(2) The good folks over at Project Arts Centre are Commissioners of the Irish Pavilion at the Venice Biennale this year with artist Eimear Walshe, and have issued their Call for Mediators to help staff the Pavilion throughout its spring-autumn run in Venice. This is a super gig that covers travel expenses to Venice, accommodation, and provides a €400 weekly stipend. Additional bursaries are also available for folks in need of them, to enable wider participation. Interested candidates have to commit to a 6-week stint, but you get to be in Venice! During the Biennale! I know it’s been a life-changing experience for past mediators, and if you have the interest & availability I highly recommend applying. Here at UCD School of Art History & Cultural Policy, we are delighted to partner with Project to sponsor one of the Mediator places, and especially encourage our students and graduates to apply. The deadline is 1 February.
