Duties are varied, but centre on administrative support to the curatorial team, assisting with the planning, production and presentation of the current Live and Media Arts programme, research and development for future Live and Media Arts events, compiling and updating project information, maintaining databases and archives and coordinating mailings, among other duties. There may be some evening and weekend work involved, but time is given off in lieu.
