The Cornell Fine Arts Museum at Rollins College in Winter Park, FL seeks a dynamic, experienced Curator to oversee a growing collection and an ambitious schedule of exhibitions, programs and publications. The museum has been on a path of rapid growth and is engaged in plans for a new facility; the Curator will work closely with the Director to take the museum into its next institutional phase and future home.

Exhibitions and educational programs built around and complementing the permanent collection change seasonally. The museum, actively engaged with Rollins students and faculty, is also a dynamic community museum for the greater Orlando area. The curator reports to the Director and supervises a staff of four. We are looking for an innovative team player, a thoughtful leader and a superb communicator who loves to teach and is not afraid to think outside the box.
