John Walsh Fellowship in Museum Education, Education Department, Yale University Art Gallery
The John Walsh Fellowship in Museum Education is a full-time, one-year position, intended for an emerging museum educator with a master’s degree who is interested in school, youth, and family teaching and learning in a university museum.
Start date: summer 2026. Salary: $54,500 commensurate with education and experience; a competitive benefits package, including health insurance; a modest professional-development stipend; and taxable reimbursement of relocation costs up to $1,500 (for a move greater than a 50-mile distance).
The fellowship provides extensive hands-on experience in interactive and interdisciplinary teaching with objects. The fellow participates in the Wurtele Gallery Teacher training program and learns from museum educators and curators about art-based pedagogies and the Yale University Art Gallery’s global collections. The position reports to the Jan and Frederick Mayer Curator of Public Education and works closely with colleagues and collaborators across Yale University and New Haven. The responsibilities of the fellow include: organizing and leading school, family, and youth programs (Stories and Art, Getting StARTed, Teen Art Studio, and Family Day are among our current offerings); teaching pre-K–12 guided visits in the museum and developing activities for in-gallery teaching; coleading and leading teacher workshops and access programs; and additional duties as assigned.
