Reports to: President & CEO
Supervises: Andrew W. Mellon Humanities Professor; Andrew Heiskell Arts Director; Drue Heinz Librarian and Head of Collections; and Deputy Director for Fellowships and Programs
Term: Three-year appointment, renewable. Start date August 2027
Role
The Director is the on-campus figure responsible for managing the day-to-day intellectual and community life of the American Academy in Rome. This is a role for an artist or scholar of genuine distinction who is also, by inclination and experience, a community builder. The Director leads an intellectual team consisting of the Mellon Humanities Professor, Heiskell Arts Director, and Drue Heinz Librarian and Head of Collections.
The Director gives shape and texture to the residential community through programming and also through attention to the work of those in the community. The Director must be someone who understands that the conditions in which creative and scholarly work unfolds are themselves a form of institutional authorship.
The Director works closely with the Deputy Director for Fellowships and Programs on implementation and budget.
As head of the community, the Director is also a connector, sounding board, and promotorof all the fellows’ work. These functions are two sides of the same coin becausecommunity creates trust; trust encourages risk-taking; and risk-taking produces the breakthroughs the Academy exists to generate.
The Director is the Academy’s public face in Rome: an intellectual and cultural diplomat who represents the institution in the city’s artistic, academic, and civic life.
