Bourses de recherches au Rijksmuseum, 2019-20

The Rijksmuseum Fellowship Programme, 2019-20, Amsterdam
Application deadline: Jan 20, 2019

The Rijksmuseum welcomes international, independent research proposals which open new perspectives on the museum’s collection, its history and activities. The purpose of the Rijkmuseum Fellowship Programme is to encourage and support scholarly investigation, and to contribute to academic discourses while strengthening bonds between the museum and universities. The programme enables highly talented candidates to base part of their research at the Rijksmuseum, and offers access to the museum’s expertise, collections, library and laboratories. Furthermore, the programme facilitates opportunities for Fellows to engage in workshops and excursions to encourage exchange of knowledge – both amongst themselves and the broader museum audience.

Fellowships will be awarded for various durations, starting in the academic year 2019-2020. Please review the Rijksmuseum website for detailed information on each individual Fellowship position.

Funding:
Fellowship stipends are awarded to help support a Fellow’s study and research efforts during the tenure of their appointment. The stipend amount varies by funding source and Fellowship period. Visit the Rijksmuseum website for further information.
