Fellowships – The Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY

Deadline: November 7, 2014

The Metropolitan Museum of Art offers fellowships in art history for PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers, and senior museum professionals. Predoctoral art history fellows, with the exception of Theodore Rousseau fellows, can be asked to assist the hosting curatorial departments with projects that complement their approved scholarly subject. Not all departments request this assistance. Senior fellows are generally expected to spend all of their time on their approved fellowship projects. However, if a senior fellow would like to contribute a portion of his or her time to the department it is usually welcomed.

All fellows, with the exception of Theodore Rousseau fellows, must be in residence at the Metropolitan Museum during the fellowship period. All fellowships must take place between September 1, 2015, and August 31, 2016. Fellowships generally begin in September. The number of fellowships awarded depends on funds available; the stipend amount for one year is $42,000 for senior fellows and $32,000 for predoctoral fellows, with up to an additional $6,000 for travel (maximum of six weeks). Health care benefits are included. Senior fellowships are intended for those who hold a PhD on the date of application and for well-established scholars.
