Postdoctoral Fellowships
Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles, CA

  • Postdoctoral Fellowships provide support for outstanding scholars in the early stages of their careers, allowing them the flexibility to travel and study wherever necessary to undertake their work. Grants support interpretive research projects that make a substantial and original contribution to the understanding of art and its history.
  • The Postdoctoral Fellowships in 2008-2009 are designed for scholars of all nationalities whose doctoral degrees in art history (or the equivalent in countries outside the United States) have been or will be officially conferred between January 1, 2002, and January 1, 2008.  Candidates who hold doctoral degrees in fields outside art history are eligible to apply if they can demonstrate that their work promises to make a substantial and original contribution to the understanding of art and its history.
  • Fellowships provide a $40,000 stipend for a twelve-month period.
    Fellows have the flexibility to pursue their research wherever necessary to complete their projects. Although grantees are welcome to use the Getty library if their projects bring them to Los Angeles, the fellowships are nonresidential. During the tenure of the fellowship, fellows may not accept other awards or grants, nor may they undertake any form of employment.
  • Deadline: early November

Collaborative Research Grants
Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles, CA

  • Collaborative Research Grants provide opportunities for teams of scholars to pursue interpretive research projects that offer new explanations of art and its history. Collaborations that foster a cross-fertilization of ideas and methodologies are particularly encouraged.
  • These grants are intended to support established scholars who have attained distinction in their fields. Teams may consist of two or more art historians, or of one or more art historians together with one or more scholars from other disciplines. Teams for exhibition projects should include scholars from both museums and universities.
  • Grant periods vary according to the needs of the individual projects, but are generally available for research periods of one to two years.
  • Grant amounts vary. Eligible costs include salary replacement, travel, research assistance, and limited funds for research materials (excluding equipment).
  • Deadline: early November
