Getty/ACLS Postdoctoral Fellowships in the History of Art: Information and Webinar for International Applicants

Alison Chang Discussion

The American Council of Learned Societies is pleased to invite applications for Getty/ACLS Postdoctoral Fellowships in the History of Art. The fellowships support an academic year of research by early career scholars from around the world for projects that will make substantial and original contributions to the understanding of art and its history.

We are especially interested in supporting scholars who were trained at/affiliated with institutions of all types from all regions of the world, and who bring perspectives and backgrounds that are historically underrepresented in the field of art history.

ACLS will award up to 10 fellowships for the 2022-23 academic year, each carrying a stipend of $60,000, plus $5,000 for research and travel during the award period. The fellowships are portable: a fellow may elect to take up the award at any appropriate site for the work proposed, including abroad. Awards also include a one-week residency at the Getty Research Institute following the fellowship period.

Interested international applicants are highly encouraged to attend our upcoming Zoom webinar (registration info below), featuring program officers from the Getty Foundation and ACLS.
