Let's stay connected with BSC Folks!

We are particularly interested for this role in the strengths and lived experiences of women and underrepresented groups to help us avoid perpetuating biases and oversights in science and IT research. In instances of equal merit, the incorporation of the under-represented sex will be favoured.

We promote Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, fostering an environment where each and every one of us is appreciated for who we are, regardless of our differences.

If you consider that you do not meet all the requirements, we encourage you to continue applying for the job offer. We value diversity of experiences and skills, and you could bring unique perspectives to our team.

Context And Mission

The Creative Intelligence Lab is BSC's space for sustained collaboration at the intersection of art, science and technology. It brings together the Center's research capabilities — in high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, data analytics, visualization and scientific modelling — with the methods, questions and sensibilities of contemporary artistic and cultural practice. The laboratory conceives and produces exhibitions, residencies, public programmes, commissions and publications, and acts as a bridge between BSC and the European and international art-science-technology ecosystem.

We are looking for an Associate Curator to help define and drive the lab's artistic vision and programme. Working alongside BSC's research groups and the lab's leadership, the Associate Curator will identify potential cultural partners or projects with good fit to the scientific research at BSC, help build an international network of partners, and position the laboratory as a reference point for transdisciplinary practice in Europe.

• Identify synergies between BSC's research capabilities and the interests and methods of artistic and cultural practice, and turn them into concrete projects.
• Build, maintain and activate an international network of cultural institutions, research centres, festivals, museums and communities of practice relevant to the lab's mission
• Represent the laboratory before diverse audiences — academic, cultural, industrial and media — and articulate its mission and projects clearly and convincingly
• Identify competitive funding opportunities (with particular attention to European programmes supporting art-science collaboration) and contribute actively to the formulation and submission of proposals.
• Contribute to governance frameworks for science-culture collaborations, including co-production models, intellectual property arrangements and credit-sharing structures.

• Experience managing complex projects with multiple institutional partners.
• A solid and active international network in the art-science-technology field, spanning cultural institutions, research centres, festivals, museums and relevant communities of practice at European and international scale.
• In-depth knowledge of the cultural ecosystem in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain and Europe, with established relationships with its agents and institutions.
• Demonstrated experience building and leading hybrid collaboration spaces that integrate scientists, researchers, artists, designers and other creative professionals in transdisciplinary projects.

• Experience in institutional representation and public communication before academic, cultural, industrial and media audiences.
