The Program Director, Native American Fellowship (Program Director) will play a pivotal, non-curatorial role within the Curatorial Affairs Team, driving the vision, strategy, and execution of the Native American Fellowship Program. This dynamic position will lead the day-to-day operations of the fellowship program, overseeing all aspects of its administration while ensuring alignment with PEM’s mission and values.
A master’s degree in art history, anthropology, or cultural studies is preferred with an emphasis in Native American Studies; however, a bachelor’s degree holder who has an equivalent combination of education and experience is welcome. Extensive, demonstrable experience in program development, with a deep understanding of Indigenous cultures, gained through lived and/or professional experience, is a must.
