Do you have the knowledge, experience and expertise to help steer the future of British art studies? Are you looking to engage in dynamic discussions about the study and understanding of British art and visual culture and help award around £1 million of funding annually?
We are seeking to recruit three new members to join the Paul Mellon Centre’s (PMC) Advisory Council. In this voluntary role, you would be joining a panel of specialists who read and review applications to our funding programme, which currently distributes around £1 million annually to individuals and organisations undertaking the most original, innovative and impactful research in British art. We offer grants and fellowships for both organisations and individuals, with the largest individual grant being £60,000. We support individual research projects, curatorial projects, events, publications, digital projects and more. For further information about our grant giving and its impact, including stories from some of our individual recipients, see our website.
As we seek to continue our work expanding the field and promoting new ways of understanding British art, we are looking for Advisory Council members who will bring a profound understanding of the state of British art research in its broadest sense, across all periods and geographical/cultural contexts. New members will serve an initial three-year term, with an option to extend to five years, and will be expected to read and review applications for our two annual funding rounds in spring and autumn.
We are looking for individuals with a significant track record of undertaking and supporting advanced research in the field of British art, whether in academia or in the wider sector. We would be particularly interested in hearing from those with a background working with digital technologies and conservation and heritage projects, as well as people who can bring fresh perspectives to the field of British art studies.
Commitment
We require Advisory Council members to take part in two meetings per year and complete in advance the reading and assessment of the applications under review. The meetings usually take place in March and November, in person at PMC in London (with online attendance as an option). Applications will be open for assessment at least a month before the meeting takes place. On average we receive between two and three hundred applications per round: due to the division of applications between Main Council meetings and Subcommittee meetings, Advisory Council members can expect to read and assess around one hundred to one hundred and fifty applications per round.
Once during their [initial] term, we will ask Advisory Council members to sit on both the Subcommittee meeting and the Main Council meeting, meaning they will need to read and assess the full total of applications that round.
Expenses and Honorarium
All members of the Advisory Council will receive complimentary copies of PMC publications for the duration of their time on the Council.
We will cover reasonable travel and accommodation expenses for the individual to attend the meeting in person.
Remote participation in the meetings will always be available and international applicants are welcome.
This is a voluntary position and the Paul Mellon Centre is a registered charity, dedicated to supporting research in British art studies. However, recognising the time commitment involved and the obstacle this may present to individuals we can offer a £250 honorarium for each round of assessment to Advisory Council members, payable on request at the completion of the round.
Access Support
We are actively seeking to make our funding opportunities and processes more accessible and user friendly. Accordingly, we want to ensure that membership of our Advisory Council is open to everyone with the relevant experience, expertise and knowledge. We will be happy to discuss practical ways we can make sure that this is achievable and have additional funds available to support any access needs. Do please get in touch if you would like to discuss what might be possible.
How to Apply
If you are interested in joining, please submit a full CV and a personal statement via our website.
The statement should not exceed two pages of A4 or be longer than 1,000 words.
It should address the following questions:
- Why are you interested in joining PMC’s Advisory Council?
- What would you bring to the Council, in terms of your experience, knowledge and expertise?
- What do you consider the main priorities for British art research at this time?
If you have any questions or would like an informal conversation about this opportunity, please do not hesitate to contact Harriet Sweet, Grants Manager.
Closing Date
The closing date for applications is 10am on Monday 28 July 2025.
Expected Start Date
New members will begin their term in September 2025, with an onboarding session provided.

About us
The Maudsley Hospital in Camberwell first opened in 1915, initially as a military hospital and then in 1923 as a psychiatric hospital. The hospital is home to both inpatient and outpatient services for children and adults. We provide more than 240 services to people in our local communities as well as being the UK's leading provider of national and specialist services.
About the role
We run a Clothes Bank for service users who are on the wards and may not have access to multiple items of clothing. The Clothes Bank currently relies on donations from staff at the Trust, and volunteers who sort the donated stock and bring it to service users on the wards. For this project, we need 2-4 volunteers who can commit each week on Wednesdays to help with this.
The role involves going up to the wards, speaking to ward staff to ask what items of clothing their service users need this week, and returning to the Community Link Centre where the donated clothes are kept and sorting the stock. This involves good organisational skills and teamworking ability, as you'll be working with other volunteers to make this happen. It's a really fun way to do a lot of good in a few hours, meet likeminded people and develop some new skills.
About you
This is an ideal role for anybody interested in building skills in administration, communication, organisation, and teamwork, and for anyone interested in fashion, sustainability, and mental health. There is a lot of scope for the volunteer to shape the future of the clothes bank and bring new ideas to improve its efficiency and drive donations, as well as potentially offer a more bespoke dressing service. Ultimately, if you believe in the power clothes can have in helping one feel their best, this role could be for you.
Key details
This role is available on Wednesdays between 9:00am-1:00pm and 2:00pm-5:00pm. The expected commitment is 2-3 hours a week, for a minimum of 9 months. This role is suitable for volunteers who are 18 years or older. People with lived experience of mental health conditions are encouraged to apply.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
