£25,013 per annum

The Courtauld Institute of Art Research Forum, with the support of the
Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, is offering a fellowship to an early career
researcher in the field of Modern or Contemporary art. This fellowship
will give the Fellow the opportunity to pursue a research project while
gaining teaching experience in a research environment and working in
close collaboration with senior scholars to deliver interdisciplinary
M.A. courses. In addition to undertaking research, the Fellow is
expected to teach one B.A. course and to act as an affiliate to the
Research Forum/Mellon Foundation M.A. course being offered by Professor
Mignon Nixon and Visiting Professor Juliet Mitchell in 2011-2012
("Post-War" and After: The Psychoanalysis of War and American Art).

Applicants must be at an early stage of their career, not currently
holding or having held a permanent university post and having received a
doctorate within three years of taking up the award (and no later than
December 2010).

Applicants are asked to submit (1) a covering letter explaining the
candidate's specific interest in the Fellowship; (2) a completed
application form; (3) two letters of recommendation, including one from
the candidate's supervisor - these can be sent separately; and (4) an
equal opportunities monitoring form.
