Call for candidates: Junior curatorship of Prints & Drawings at the Fondation Custodia and the Rijksmuseum

17 October 2025 / Paris-Amsterdam

The Custodia Foundation and the Rijksmuseum are inviting two early-career art historians to join their teams for a two-year, non-renewable position, starting on 1 January 2026. The junior will spend one year at the Fondation Custodia in Paris and one year in the Rijksprentenkabinet at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. This unique opportunity will allow young art historians specializing in the graphic arts to gain in-depth experience of two internationally renowned collections and prepare you for a career as a curator in the field of prints and drawings.

Created in 2016, this position offers the opportunity to work in two institutions that are very different in nature and size, but which share one thing in common: significant collections of Dutch and Flemish art. Working closely with the teams at these institutions, you will be able to familiarize yourself with the many facets of curatorial work. As a full member of the curatorial team, you will participate in and contribute to its program. This is a 24-month, full-time position.

For more information see the website of the Fondation Custodia (in French) or the website of the Rijksmuseum (in English, apply there before 30 October).
