YALE CENTER FOR BRITISH ART VISITING FELLOWSHIPS

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 2007 and June 2008 must reach the
YCBA by January 12, 2007, 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.
