The Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Curatorial Fellowship will be awarded to promising young scholars whose research projects relate to the Museum's collection, as well to distinguished visiting scholars from the United States and abroad who can serve as teachers and advisers and make their expertise available to catalog and refine the collection. These fellowships are usually awarded for a maximum of one year, most of which should be spent at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Applicants should have received their doctorate or have completed substantial work toward it. Short-term fellowships for senior scholars are also available. Three letters of recommendation are required, at least one academic and one professional. Please visit the fellowship's website for more information.
