Getty/ACLS Postdoctoral Fellowships in the History of Art

Deadline: October 27, 2021

The American Council of Learned Societies invites 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.

There is special interest in supporting scholars who have been trained at/are 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.

The 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.

The program encourages diverse, international perspectives and welcomes applications from scholars worldwide, without restriction as to citizenship, country of residency, or employment. Scholars who are citizens of countries other than the United States are especially encouraged to apply, as are scholars who have experience studying, teaching, and/or conducting art historical research in non-US contexts.

More information about the program, including eligibility requirements and how to apply, is available here. Questions may be directed to fellowships@acls.org.
