The Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art JUNIOR FELLOWSHIP up to 3 months Application deadline details available on Paul Mellon Centre website In order to support scholarship in the field of British art and architectural history and to disseminate knowledge through publications, exhibitions and education, the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art offers a variety of grants and fellowships. However, please note that the Centre’s remit does not cover contemporary fine arts, archaeology, the current practice of architecture or the performing arts. Junior Fellowships in the United Kingdom (based at the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art in London) or the United States (based at the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven) are offered to scholars already engaged in doctoral research on British art or architecture. Candidates may be of any nationality, but normally must be enrolled in a graduate programme at an American or other non-British university for study in the United Kingdom or at a non-American university for study in the United States. Fellowships are for three months and Junior Fellows receive a return airfare and a monthly stipend of £2,000 (in the U.K.) or $2,000 (in the U.S.A.) Junior Fellows at the Paul Mellon Centre are encouraged to come to London in the autumn, when there are no undergraduates in residence and the Centre runs its research seminar series. As part of the terms and conditions of the award, successful candidates will be required to submit an end-ofawwar report on the progress they have made. If a Fellow accepts full-time employment during the period of the Junior Fellowship, the Centre will request an appropriate reimbursement of the award. Fellowships must be completed by the end of the academic year immediately following the granting of the award. Fellowships cannot be deferred. Applicants for Junior Fellowships may ask to be considered for a Research Support Grant, should their Fellowship application prove unsuccessful. If they wish to be so considered, they must complete a separate cover sheet and a brief (one side of paper) statement of their proposed alternative course of study in the United Kingdom or United States, bearing in mind that Research Support Grants do not exceed £2000 or $3000 except in exceptional circumstances. Please complete the cover sheet and submit with your outline of the field of research and a brief curriculum vitae on no more than two sides of paper Please request your referees to send their references (by email if possible to grants@paul-mellon-centre.ac.uk) or by post to the The Grants Administrator, The Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art, 16 Bedford Square, London WC1B 3JA.
