Getty/ACLS Postdoctoral Fellowships in the History of Art

The American Council of Learned Societies invites applications for fellowships to support research and/or writing by early career scholars, made possible by the generous support of the Getty Foundation. These fellowships provide an academic year of support for scholars from around the world for a project that will make a substantial and original contribution to the understanding of art and its history.

In the 2018-19 competition, ACLS will award 10 fellowships, each with a stipend of $60,000 plus up to $5,000 for research and travel costs. Awards also will include a one-week residence at the Getty Research Institute following the fellowship period.

Applications are welcome from scholars worldwide without restriction as to citizenship, country of residency, location of proposed work, or employment.

  • Applicants must have a PhD that was conferred between September 1, 2013 and December 31, 2017.
  • Applicants who earned their PhDs in and/or are currently employed in any humanistic field may apply, so long as they demonstrate that their research draws substantially on the materials, methods, and/or findings of art history.
  • Applications must be completed in English by the applicant.

    Deadline: October 24, 2018, 9 pm EDT
