The International Center of Medieval Art (the “ICMA”) invites applications for a Coordinator for Digital Engagement. Established in 1956, the ICMA continues to go strong, thanks, in part, to our aim to serve the needs and interests of our members. Through our digital presence, we strive to reach an ever-developing community of scholars, curators, and enthusiasts committed to exploring the art and architecture of the medieval realm, broadly defined.
The Coordinator for Digital Engagement will work remotely, approximately 10 hours per month on a flexible schedule, and may reside anywhere. Reliable internet and computer access are required. All are welcome to apply; preference given to those pursuing a career in medieval art history.
The Coordinator will collaborate with the ICMA President, Vice President, Committee Chairs, and Executive Director on projects relating to online programming that serve the needs of scholars, instructors, museum professionals, and other enthusiasts and specialists in medieval art history. These projects and tasks include: handling technical aspects of online workshops and lectures, such as the interactive Mining the Collection series and multi-speaker panels coordinated by the Friends of the ICMA; managing large group meetings, such as a Town Hall; working with the Student Committee to edit and manage the back end of our podcast series The Oral History Project; editing video and audio recordings for posting to the ICMA website; and collaborating with the Digital Resources Committee to maintain and innovate upon our existing website resources.
Essential skills: facility with Zoom (meetings and webinars); experience with voice and video editing and with podcast software; familiarity with website platforms such as Squarespace; competency with basic HTML and basic photo editing software; comfort interacting with a broad membership during live events and fielding questions; eagerness to work with the leadership and members of the ICMA; and overall aptitude for public-facing work.
The International Center of Medieval Art (ICMA) is dedicated to the support of the study, understanding, and preservation of visual and material cultures produced primarily between ca. 300 CE and ca. 1500 CE in every corner of the medieval world. The organization embraces diversity in all forms, serving a membership of scholars with a variety of racial, ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds, religious beliefs, and gender identities, among other factors. We encourage applications from candidates committed to forging and sustaining the ICMA’s multifaceted diversity and to being part of a community in which all are warmly welcomed and encouraged to succeed.
