About the role

Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa seeks a full-time Open-Rank Curator of Modern & Contemporary Art to lead acquisitions, exhibitions, research, and programming for the growing collection and related initiatives. Responsibilities include developing ambitious exhibitions, interpreting the collection, supervising interns, managing budgets, and collaborating across departments to support fundraising, education, and public engagement.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
