DEADLINE: 30 April 2004

The Victoria and Albert Museum is seeking a Course Tutor to join its
Research Department in October 2004 to teach students on the V&A/RCA M.A.
Course in the History of Design.

The post arises from the award of a Leverhulme Major Research Fellowship
to the Head of Postgraduate Studies at the V&A. The two-year M.A. Course
is run jointly by the Museum and the Royal College of Art and is taught
by a team of academic staff based in both institutions.

The course tutor will be expected to sustain an active research profile
in an appropriate field and to contribute to scholarship throughout the
Museum. The course tutor will possess a record of excellence in research
on an aspect of design, decorative art, or material culture in Britain,
continental Europe, or North America, 1650-1850. Teaching and
administrative experience, preferably at post-graduate level, is also
essential. An interest in the Museum's holdings and a commitment to
working with objects are desirable, as would be a Doctorate.

For further details and an application form, please visit the V&A's
website at www.vam.ac.uk and click on 'About Us 'where you will find
details and application packs for all current V&A vacancies under 'Job
Opportunities '.
