Job Description
Assistant Curator Mātauranga Māori – Fixed Term, part time (32 hours per week)Te Papa stands proud as an iconic national building housing the treasures of the nation and is a vibrant destination for both national and international visitors. Biculturalism is a founding philosophy and practice of Te Papa designed to explore the contribution of Māori language and culture to the life, culture and activities of the museum in small and large ways. Te Papa fosters and nurtures cross-cultural capability, the ability of people of different cultural backgrounds to interact with one another in positive and uplifting ways.
The Mātauranga Maori team is seeking interest for the position of Assistant Curator Mātauranga Māori for a fixed-term period until the end of April 2025, part time (32 hours per week). This is an entry level curatorial position that will see you supporting a team of curators in areas such as taonga Māori research, exhibitions, publications, collection development and programmes. A specific focus for this fixed term position will be to gain an understanding of curation of taonga Māori in preparation for exhibitions.
To be considered for this opportunity you will have a degree or qualification relevant to mātauranga Māori and museum practice, understand Māori research methodologies and have a passion in mātauranga Māori and its application and contribution to museum practice. You will have the opportunity to participate in concept development, interpretation, and representation of this in the context of Te Papa's visitor experience.
We are seeking candidates that can demonstrate:
- An interest in curatorial practices and museum ethics and principles
- Ability to work effectively with iwi, hapū and whānau, academic and cultural organisations.
- Some experience working on exhibitions and/or writing about taonga Māori in a museum environment
Offers will be made within the range to reflect the skills and experience offered by the candidate and those required of the role, and internal relativities with other employees.
Applicants must have the ability to obtain and maintain the legal right to work in New Zealand.
Prior to Te Papa confirming any offer of employment, pre-employment checks will be undertaken including criminal conviction history and reference checking as a minimum.
