The Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Curatorial Fellowship is a two-year fellowship that provides an opportunity for a postdoctoral scholar at an early stage of their career to gain curatorial training and experience, and to engage with a community of staff and scholars from around the world. These fellows work with a curatorial supervisor and mentor on a specific project related to The Met collection or an upcoming exhibition. The fellowships are intended to strengthen the curatorial profession at large by training promising emerging scholars for curatorial careers. Applicants must hold a PhD by the application deadline date, with a specialization related to one of the projects. Applicants must have received their PhD no more than five years prior to the application deadline. All fellows are expected to have valid US work authorization for the entire duration of the fellowship. Fellows receive a $66,300 annual salary. Fellows also receive a stipend of $6000 to pursue travel related to their research, which is paid through reimbursement. Applicants must submit a copy of their published paper or recent writing sample. They must also submit three letters of recommendation, at least one academic and one professional letter of recommendation. Please visit the fellowship's website for more information.
