National Gallery of Art Announces Andrew W. Mellon Curatorial Fellows for 2008–2011

Curatorial Fellowships

The Andrew W. Mellon Curatorial Fellowships are three-year fellowships that provide curatorial training and support scholarly research related to the collections of the National Gallery of Art. Fellows are fully integrated into a specific curatorial department with duties, privileges, and status equivalent to those of an assistant curator. Fellows divide their time between specific projects and general curatorial work within the department, which includes research on the collection and new acquisitions, work on the presentation of the collection, participation in aspects of special exhibition projects, and opportunities to give public lectures. Each fellow will plan and complete a project in consultation with the supervising curator.

Consideration is given to candidates working in fields represented by the Gallery's permanent collections. The doctoral degree in art history (or the equivalent in countries outside the United States) must have been or will be officially conferred before the start of the fellowship period. National and international applicants from all backgrounds are encouraged to apply. The PhD must be conferred no earlier than two years from the start date of the fellowship.

Andrew W. Mellon Curatorial Fellows work full time. The stipend is approximately $45,000 per year for three years. Each fellow is eligible to receive a public transit subsidy as well as medical insurance through the federal government (if an American citizen).

The next round of applications will be accepted in 2010 for the 2010–2013 fellowship period.
