Wasserman Forum Assistant
Job Description

The List Visual Arts Center, MIT’s contemporary art museum, collects, commissions, and presents rigorous, provocative, and artist-centric projects that engage MIT and the global art community.

The List Visual Arts Center is pleased to offer a fellowship position to assist with all details in organizing a two-day symposium. The working topic for the 2018 Wasserman Forum will be Future Genders and looking at how gender identity is being addressed by artists today. The List Center is seeking a candidate that has a demonstrated interest in gender issues as they are presented through contemporary visual arts.  The Wasserman Forum Assistant will work in conjunction with the List Center Staff in conceptualizing the panels for the Forum, and undertake organizational duties such as and not limited to speaker contracts, obtaining and editing speaker bios, handling travel needs, assisting in all aspects of hospitality for Forum participants, preparing press materials, coordinating volunteers for the Forum, and determining and ordering all amenities for the event. The Wasserman Forum Assistant will also be expected to be on hand for the entire duration of the forum planned for November 2018. This position will report to Emily Garner, Campus and Public Program Coordinator.

This is a part-time one-year stipend position and not an MIT benefited employee. The hours of the position will gradually increase as the timeline approaches the date of the event.

Job Requirements
Applicants must possess a bachelor’s degree in art history, women’s and gender studies, or a related field with a preference of being enrolled in a graduate degree program. Applicants also must be authorized to work in the US.

To apply, please submit a letter of interest, a resume, and the names of two professional and/or academic references to Emily A. Garner, eagarner at mit.edu.

This position will start November 2017.
