USA: Pre- and Postdoctoral Fellowships at the Getty Research Institute

Overview

Please note that the 2009 deadline to apply for Residential Pre- and Postdoctoral Fellowships at the Getty Research Institute has passed. The next deadline for these fellowships will be November 1, 2010, and guidelines and online application forms for 2011-12 grants will be available on this site in July 2010.

Predoctoral and Postdoctoral Fellowships provide support for emerging scholars to complete work on projects related to the Getty Research Institute's annual theme. Recipients are in residence at the Getty Research Institute, where they pursue research to complete their dissertations or to expand them for publication. Fellows make use of the Getty collections, join in a weekly meeting devoted to the annual theme, and participate in the intellectual life of the Getty.

Eligibility

Applications are welcome from scholars of all nationalities. Predoctoral fellowship applicants must have advanced to candidacy by the time of the fellowship start date and expect to complete their dissertations during the fellowship period. Predoctoral fellows who receive their doctorate while in residence automatically become postdoctoral fellows.

Terms

Predoctoral Fellows are in residence from September to June and receive a stipend of $25,000. Postdoctoral Fellows are in residence from September to June and receive a stipend of $30,000. Both fellowships also provide a workspace at the Getty Research Institute or the Getty Villa, an apartment in the Getty scholar housing complex, and airfare to and from Los Angeles. These terms apply as of November 2009 and are subject to future changes.


Application Availability and Deadline

Complete application materials are now accepted through an online application process. The next deadline for these fellowships will be November 1, 2010, and guidelines and online application forms for 2011-12 fellowships will be available on this site in July 2010.

Notification

Applicants are notified of the Getty Research Institute's decision approximately five months following the deadline.

Review Process

Getty Predoctoral and Postdoctoral Fellowships are awarded on a competitive basis. Applications will be evaluated by the Getty Research Institute based on: (1) the overall quality of the application; (2) how the proposed project bears upon the annual theme; (3) the applicant's past achievements; and (4) how the project would benefit from the resources at the Getty, including its library and collections.
