The Slifka Foundation Interdisciplinary Fellowship is a one-year fellowship that combines art historical research with training in the technical investigation of The Met collection. Slifka fellows work with a curatorial mentor and a conservation and/or scientific research mentor on a specific project proposed by a curator and/or conservator or scientist. While open to both predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows, this fellowship is primarily intended to provide those at an early stage of their career with training in technical art history and investigation. If the fellow is predoctoral, they may be permitted to spend some portion of their time on their dissertation, to be determined by mutual agreement with their supervisor. PhD candidates through senior postdoctoral scholars are eligible to apply. Junior fellowships are awarded to those applicants who are working on their PhD at the time that they submit their application. Applicants who receive their PhD after the submission deadline are not eligible for the senior fellowship. Senior fellowships are awarded to those who hold a PhD on the date of application submission and/or are well-established scholars. All fellows are expected to have valid US work authorization for the entire duration of the fellowship. Applicants must submit a brief schedule of work to be accomplished during the fellowship period. Postdoctoral fellows must specify if they are applying for a term less than one year in length. They must also submit a brief schedule of travel required (maximum of six weeks) during the fellowship period, if applicable. Three letters of recommendation are also required. Applicants must submit at least one academic and one professional letter of recommendation. Please visit the fellowship's website for more information.
