Much appreciation for sharing this announcement with any appropriate parties. I can also supply a flyer under separate cover with full information—would be most appreciative to have it posted in your library and/or forwarded to any associated art history departments or other appropriate outlets.

 

Thanks!

Sam

 

The Amon Carter Museum of American Art invites applications for the 2012 Davidson Family Fellowship. Established in 1996 by a generous gift from the Davidson Family Charitable Foundation, the fellowship provides support for scholars working toward the PhD or at the postdoctoral level to either begin or continue work on research projects in the history of American art that directly relate to objects in the museum’s permanent collection of paintings, sculpture, works on paper, photographs, and rare books.

Successful candidates should have an in-depth knowledge of the history of American art and culture in areas represented by the museum’s collections demonstrated in coursework and/or publications. Proposals from qualified individuals in disciplines other than art history are also encouraged. Preference will be given to projects that most fully leverage the complement of collections and research resources available at the museum. Awards are based on merit and are open to all qualified individuals.

The stipend is $12,500 for a four-month period of full-time research at the museum. The next application deadline is April 15, 2012, for a fellowship period to start in the fall and end by December 31, 2012. Housing and travel expenses are to be managed by the fellow, although the museum is available for assistance.
