Yale Center for British Art Fellowship Program

The Yale Center for British Art offers residential fellowships ranging
from one to four months to scholars undertaking postdoctoral or equivalent
research related to British art. These fellowships allow scholars of
literature, history, the history of art, and related fields to study the
Centers holdings of paintings, drawings, prints, rare books, and
manuscripts. The Center also offers several pre-doctoral fellowships
ranging from one to two months for graduate students writing doctoral
dissertations in the field of British art. Applicants from North America
must be ABD to qualify.

Fellowships include the cost of travel to and from New Haven and also
provide accommodations and a living allowance. Recipients are required to
be in residence in New Haven and must be free of all other significant
professional responsibilities during the fellowship period. One fellowship
per annum is reserved for a member of the American Society for
Eighteenth-Century Studies. By arrangement with the Huntington Library,
San Marino, California, scholars may apply separately for tandem awards;
every effort will be made to offer consecutive dates.

Applications for fellowships between July 2006 and June 2007 must reach
the YCBA by January 13, 2006, and should include a cover letter, a
curriculum vitae, a statement of 2-3 pages (single-spaced) outlining the
proposed research project, and the preferred month(s) of tenure. Two
confidential letters of recommendation should arrive under separate cover
by the same deadline.
