The Warburg Institute is now recruiting a new Deputy Director.
The post-holder will sit on the Senior Management Team and work with the Director and the Warburg’s staff to steer the Institute’s academic planning and operations. In addition to adding depth and breadth to the Warburg’s research and teaching in art- and cultural history, the Deputy Director will lead on the development of new academic programmes, institutional partnerships and externally funded projects.
The role presents a rare opportunity to join this prestigious institution at a pivotal moment in its history. Having just completed a £14.5m capital project called The Warburg Renaissance, the Institute was relaunched in October 2024 with new spaces and activities including a state-of-the-art facility for special collections, a stunning new auditorium and the Institute’s first gallery for physical and digital display. The project—some seven years in the making—has enhanced the academic resources and created new facilities for collections, exhibitions and events. The Institute is now enrolling record numbers of postgraduate students, and its new programme of exhibitions and public events is helping it to reach new audiences. Moreover, the School of Advanced Study has secured new funding to deliver an ambitious strategy of training and engagement: the Warburg will play a leading role in key initiatives, working with the other institutes in the School to promote professional, critical and creative skills across the humanities. In the coming years, finally, the University will transform Senate House and its library, making it an international beacon for interdisciplinary learning.
