The Davidson Family Fellowship provides support for scholars holding a PhD (or equivalent) or for PhD candidates to work on research projects that advance scholarship on American art by connecting with objects in the Carter's collection. During their stay, all fellows are expected to actively participate in the scholarly life of the Museum, and at the end of their appointment they are asked to present research progress in the form of a lecture or roundtable discussion. Successful candidates should have an in-depth knowledge of the history of American art and culture. Preference will be given to projects that most fully leverage the complement of collections and research resources available at the Museum. Three letters of recommendation are required. Please visit the award's website for more information.
