Paul Mellon Centre Senior Fellowships 2023

Senior Fellowships are offered annually to academics, established scholars or senior museum professionals in the field of British art and architectural history either to complete a manuscript or book for publication or to undertake a sustained period of research towards a major project.

They are designed to release Fellows from teaching and/or other employment responsibilities and provide them with a defined period to devote to writing or research. The Fellowship is an award of £60,000 to cover a period of 12 months.
Full-time Senior Fellowships are specifically designed for the completion of a book or other such major study for immediate publication (printed or online), or a period of sustained research for a clearly defined major project which will lead to a publication (printed or online), a catalogue or an exhibition.

To apply for a Senior Fellowship you must be a prominent and established scholar in the field of British art or architectural history, ideally with a significant publishing record.
