Opportunity description
The Drawing Institute will award one nine-month Postdoctoral Fellowship to a scholar in the first decade of their career following the completion of the Ph.D or equivalent advanced degree. The Postdoctoral Fellowship supports an independent research project, ideally working toward a clearly defined publication relating to some aspect of the history, theory, collecting, function, or interpretation of drawings.
Requirements:
The Postdoctoral Fellow is expected to spend her/his fellowship period in residence at the Morgan Library & Museum.

The Fellow may be asked to assist in the planning and implementation of Drawing Institute programs. The Fellow will present a progress report on his/her research at the conclusion of the fellowship.
Benefits:
$40,500 stipend for 9 months, generally expected to run between September/October 2021 - May/June 2022, plus a travel allowance intended to support or subsidize a short research trip. If a fellowship is sought for a specific time (e.g. around a professor’s semester-long sabbatical), that should be clearly indicated in the application.
Notes:
- Health insurance is not provided by the Morgan institute.
- The Fellow is expected to make his/her own travel and housing arrangements.
- For foreign applicants, non-financial assistance with procuring a visa is provided.
- The fellowship is non-renewable.
