Hamburg, MARKK, Museum am Rothenbaum, Oct 1, 2020–Sep 30, 2022 Application deadline: Jun 24, 2020

Felicity Bodenstein

The Museum am Rothenbaum (foundation under public law) is hiring a Full-time Research and Database coordinator

for the creation of the Digital Benin online platform for the duration of two years at the earliest possible date

The Museum am Rothenbaum promotes the appreciation of world cultures and arts. It is con- cerned with contemporary social debates centred on issues such as colonial heritage, living together in a globalised society and opening museums to a broader public. As a museum with world-encompassing collections and related archives, it is currently developing an innovative pro- gramme of exhibitions and events and focussing its research on the intertwined histories and the transcultural forms of creativity represented by the collections.

Within the framework of the project Digital Benin. Reconnecting Royal Art Treasures, financed by the Ernst von Siemens Kunststiftung, the MARKK is opening an international project office to bring together digitally information about the globally scattered works of art from the former King- dom of Benin. As an unparalleled forum of knowledge about these pieces, Digital Benin will, within the next two years, associate object data with diverse forms of documentation from collections worldwide, thus providing the long-sought overview of the court artworks looted in the 19th centu- ry. The aim is to create a thorough and sustainable inventory catalogue of the history, cultural sig- nificance and provenance of the works. The project lead by German, Nigerian, European and Amer- ican experts is financed by the Ernst von Siemens Kunststiftung. The launch of the website is planned for 2022.

Responsibilities and tasks include:

● Overall coordination of the digital project in close cooperation with the Digital Humanities Team and the leading core team of the project as well as the MARKK

● Researching and obtaining data on Benin’s object, archive and photographic holdings of institu- tions worldwide and maintaining the corresponding communication

● Close cooperation with the Nigerian project staff and support in the processing of their research results and surveys, including working trips to Nigeria

● Preparation and standardisation of the data collected, coordination, possible entry into the database in close consultation and cooperation with the technical data developer to prepare the
