Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Curatorial Fellowship 2011–2013
The Metropolitan Museum of Art announces two new curatorial fellowships funded by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. These positions, designed for individuals who have received their doctoral degrees in art history or archaeology within the past five years, provide curatorial training and opportunities for scholarly research at the Metropolitan Museum. They are two-year positions, with the possibility of renewal for a third year.
Fellows will be fully integrated into one the Museum's curatorial departments and, while exposed to the full range of curatorial work, will devote their time to a specific Metropolitan Museum project. Individuals will work directly with one or more senior curators, who will serve as supervisors and mentors throughout the term of the fellowship. Each fellow will also have the opportunity to undertake an independent project in consultation with his or her supervising curator.
The Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Curatorial Fellowship is offered in alternate years. The next call for applications will be for the 2011–2013 fellowship term. Project descriptions, eligibility requirements, and instructions for submitting an application will be posted in summer 2010.
