Metropolitan Museum of Art Fellowships

Deadline 11/06/2009

Description

The Fellowship Program at The Metropolitan Museum of Art offers graduate students, museum professionals, and senior scholars the opportunity to undertake study and research related to their work in art history, art conservation, and scientific research, either at the Museum or abroad. As part of the annual program, weekly gatherings in the fall are arranged to enable the fellows to meet and interact with each other as well as with members of the Museum staff and academic community at large.

The stipend amount for one year is $40,000 for senior fellows and $30,000 for pre-doctoral fellows, with an additional $5000 for travel and miscellaneous expenses. Senior fellowships are intended for those who hold a Ph.D. on the date of application and for well-established scholars.

There are no application forms. Applicants need not specify the name of a particular fellowship. Applications must be submitted in English. Three letters of recommendation are required, none of which may be from current Metropolitan Museum staff. Applications, along with the required letters of recommendation must be submitted by the deadline of November 6, 2009.
