The University of New Mexico Art Museum (UNMAM) is dedicated to advanced learning and creating connections, both in and outside of the University community. As a teaching museum, we are committed to offering students professional development and mentorship opportunities as well as access to the largest collection of artworks in New Mexico. Through the Museum Assistant Program, UNMAM aims to be a leader in establishing dynamic education and workforce training for the next generation of museum leaders and creative professionals.
As a member of the UNMAM Museum Assistant Program, Museum Assistants work alongside professional museum staff to deliver a positive and informed visitor experience while furthering their knowledge of UNMAM's collections and exhibitions, developing their customer service skills and supporting the daily operations of an art museum. Students in this program will also participate in professional development and networking opportunities across New Mexico's museum sector.
A work-study award is required for this position. The ideal candidate should have weekend and evening availability. This position is for the Fall and Spring semesters, with the possibility of renewal for future semesters. The UNM Art Museum is closed during the summer term, so employment during that period is not guaranteed.

The ideal candidate would work approximately 12 - 18 hours per week during the UNMAM's public hours and commit to a two semester (Fall and Spring) term in this role, with the possibility of renewal for future semesters. The ideal candidate must be available during the museum's public hours: Tuesday - Thursday, 10AM - 5PM, and Friday - Saturday, 10AM - 6PM, along with occasional later evenings.
