Applications due by 15 October 2013

The Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Curatorial Fellowship allows emerging scholars to become fully integrated into a curatorial department at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and conduct research on a specific pre-determined curatorial project. Projects are available in European Paintings, Modern and Contemporary Art, Islamic Art, Musical Instruments, or The Robert Lehman Collection. Alongside departmental curators and with guidance from a supervisor, fellows gain comprehensive training through exposure to a full range of curatorial work and opportunities to conduct scholarly research within the Museum. One Mellon Postdoctoral Curatorial fellow will be selected for 2014–2016.

Candidates must hold a doctoral degree (or international equivalent) in art history or archaeology in a field related to one of the areas listed above and conferred within five years from the start date of the fellowship (between September 1, 2008, and September 1, 2013). The fellow will receive an annual salary of $50,392 plus research and travel expenses up to a maximum of $6,000 and fringe benefits.
