Funded Fellowship Opportunity for Artists at Columbia University in France

Columbia University is offering creative artists from all over the world to apply for the 2022 Fellowship program in Paris, France. Successful applicants will join scholars from across the humanities and sciences, with the purpose of questioning the established ways in which knowledge is defined, produced and taught. 

The Fellowship stipend is $37,500 per term, or $75,000 for a full academic year (September through May). Fellows also have their own office at the Institute in Paris, administrative and research support and access to Columbia’s libraries and various research facilities in Paris and in Europe.

1. Creative artists of all kinds (including visual artists, film-makers, writers, composers, poets, thinkers and others), from anywhere in the world excluding the USA.
2. Creative writers (novelists, poets, playwrights, journalists, essayists) must demonstrate a record of publication; visual artists, musicians, and performers must have a significant body of work that has been exhibited or performed in public.
3. Applicants may work in any area of the University, including the creative arts, so long as their work is compatible with the goals and aims of the Institute. Recent Columbia PhDs must have defended their dissertation between September 2019 and June 2021. In order to demonstrate their eligibility, Columbia faculty should indicate their school and departmental affiliation. They should also let their chair of department or Dean know of their intention to apply. Please note that recent Columbia PhDs who have a tenure-track position at another university are not eligible to apply.
4. Preference may be given to applicants proposing to stay for the full year.
