Who Are You? Do you have the administrative skills and aptitude to support a complex programme of funding, networking and learning activities? The Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art (PMC) is looking for an Administrative Assistant (Grants, Networks & Learning) to help support the delivery of its programmes.

We pursue individual and collaborative research projects. With our grants and fellowships programme, we sustain the most exciting and original work in British art and visual culture.
