The Amon Carter Museum of American Art invites applications for its 2015/2016 Davidson Family Fellowship. Established in 1996 by a generous gift from the Davidson Family Charitable Foundation, the fellowship provides support for scholars holding a PhD (or equivalent) or PhD candidates to work on research projects in American art that advance scholarship by connecting with objects in the museum’s permanent collection.

 

The successful candidate should have an in-depth knowledge of the history of American art and culture in areas represented by the museum’s collections. Proposals from qualified individuals in disciplines other than art history are also welcome. Preference will be given to projects that most fully leverage the complement of collections and research resources available at the museum. The award is based on merit and is open to all qualified individuals.

 

The stipend rate is $3,000 per month. The fellowship may range from a minimum one-month to a maximum four-month period of full-time research at the museum. The application deadline is May 1, 2015, for a fellowship period to begin on or after October 1, 2015, and end by September 30, 2016. Housing and travel expenses are to be managed by the fellow, although the museum is available for assistance.
