Installation Assistant - LPA Shelby Cullom Davis Museum (P/T)

Overview
For more than 125 years, The New York Public Library (NYPL) has been an essential provider of books, information, ideas, and education. With collections numbering more than 56 million items and serving more than 16 million patrons in person each year and millions more online, NYPL’s reach is both local and global. Our mission is to inspire lifelong learning, advance knowledge, and strengthen our communities. 

At our world-class research centers–including the Humanities and Social Sciences Research Library at the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, the Library for the Performing Arts, and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture–expert staff facilitate the work of our diverse communities, offering inspiring reading rooms, exhibitions, fellowships, and a dynamic range of research services. Their work is supported by dedicated staff on the Collections and Research Services teams. We are proud to be the most public and widely used research library in the world.

The Design Interpretation team is responsible for the look, feel, and visitor experience of exhibitions and program materials across our research centers, and other locations as needed. The team develops and maintains a coherent visual identity across all exhibition environments and program materials, overseeing graphic design, 3D design, interactive design, fabrication, framing, installation, and ongoing gallery maintenance.

The Exhibition Installation Assistant will be part of a team that develops, organizes, implements, and executes all aspects relating to the presentation of exhibitions and displays at The New York Public Library’s research centers.
