August 1st, 2007
Sponsored Links
Predoctoral and Postdoctoral Fellowships provide support for emerging scholars to complete work on projects related to the Getty Research Institute’s annual theme. The theme for 2008-2009 is Networks and Boundaries. Recipients are in residence at the Getty Research Institute, where they pursue research to complete their dissertations or to expand them for publication. Fellows make use of the Getty collections, join in a weekly meeting devoted to the annual theme, and participate in the intellectual life of the Getty Center.

Eligibility
Applications are welcome from scholars of all nationalities who are working in the arts, humanities, or social sciences. Predoctoral fellowship applicants must have advanced to candidacy by the time of the fellowship start date and expect to complete their dis-sertations during the fellowship period. (Predoctoral fellows who receive their doctorate while in residence automatically become Postdoctoral fellows.) Postdoctoral fellowship applicants must have received their degree no earlier than 2002.
Terms
Predoctoral and Postdoctoral Fellows are in residence for the entire academic year (from September 2008 to June 2009). Predoctoral fellows receive a total stipend of $18,000 for the nine-month residency. Postdoctoral fellows receive a total stipend of $22,000 for the nine-month residency. Both fellowships also provide an office at the Research Institute, an apartment in the Getty scholar housing complex, airfare to Los Angeles, and health benefits. Neither fellowship is renewable.
Application Availability and Deadline
Completed application materials must be received in the Getty Foundation office on or before November 1, 2007. We regret that incomplete or late applications (those received after November 1, 2007, regardless of their postmark date or place of origin), cannot be accepted for consideration. Unfortunately, we cannot accept applications hand-delivered to the Getty Center or those sent by e-mail or fax. Application material cannot be returned.
Notification
Applicants will be notified of the Research Institute’s decision by spring 2008.
Review Process
Predoctoral and Postdoctoral Fellowship Grants are awarded on a competitive basis. Applications will be evaluated by the Research Institute based on the following:
- how the proposed project bears upon the 2008-09 Scholar Year theme, Networks and Boundaries;
- the applicant’s past achievements; and
- how the project would benefit from the resources at the Getty, including its library and collections.
