Preise und Stipendien

The Slifka Foundation Interdisciplinary Fellowship is a one-year fellowship that combines art historical research with training in the technical investigation of The Met collection.

Slifka fellows work with a curatorial mentor and a conservation and/or scientific research mentor on a specific project proposed by a curator and/or conservator or scientist. While open to both predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows, this fellowship is primarily intended to provide an individual at an early stage of their career with training in technical art history and investigation. If the fellow is predoctoral, they may be permitted to spend some portion of their time on their dissertation, to be determined by mutual agreement with their supervisor.

Junior fellows receive a stipend of $53,000
Senior (postdoc) fellows receive a stipend of $63,000

Travel:

September 1, 2027 through August 31, 2028
