With sponsorship from the Terra Foundation for American Art, The Courtauld Institute of Art’s Research Forum is pleased to announce the 2011-2013 two-year fellowship for the teaching and study of historical American art (pre-1980).  The award will enable a recent postdoctoral scholar to teach at The Courtauld Institute of Art and to undertake a major research project intended for publication.  The Fellow will teach one course in the first year and two courses in the second year on selected American art topics.  The Fellow will participate in The Courtauld’s research seminars and in the research culture generally.

 

This fellowship is part of an initiative of the Terra Foundation that aims to develop international interest, knowledge, and scholarship in the field of historical American art, and it has been awarded in conjunction with similar fellowships at the Freie Universität in Berlin and the Institut national d’histoire de l’art in Paris.

 

Applicants are expected to be at an early stage of their career, not currently holding, or having held a permanent university post and having received a doctorate within the three-year period prior to taking up the award.  The scheme offers an early career researcher in the field of historical American art the possibility of gaining experience of research and teaching in a university environment, which will enhance his or her curriculum vitae, improve his or her prospects of obtaining permanent teaching posts, and further the knowledge of American art.

 

Applicants are asked to submit (1) a completed application form, with two letters of recommendation, including one from the candidate’s supervisor (these can be sent separately); (2) an equal opportunities monitoring form.  CV’s alone will not be accepted.  For further details please visit the Courtauld website www.courtauld.ac.uk or email recruitment@courtauld.ac.uk or telephone 020 7848 1881.  Please return completed application forms to the Human Resources Manager, The Courtauld Institute of Art, Somerset House, Strand, London WC2R 0RN, marking the envelope private and confidential, or send by email to recruitment@courtauld.ac.uk.
