Fellowships

The Carol Bates Fellowship

The Walters Art Museum is pleased to offer the Carol Bates Fellowship for the period September 2008 through June 2009. This privately funded fellowship provides a stipend of $17,000 plus benefits. The Walters seeks applications from graduate students in art history who are interested in pursuing a museum career in the United States. Applicants should have completed the M.A. degree and be enrolled in a Ph.D. program at the time of application. Preference will be given to applicants already engaged in work on their dissertations.

The fellow will work in the curatorial division on research projects related to the permanent collection and special exhibitions (3/5 time). The rest of the fellow's time (2/5) may be devoted to dissertation research. Specific projects will be developed in collaboration with the relevant curator. Also, the fellow will be expected to present talks for the museum's education division.

Please submit the following:

• Letter explaining research interests, particularly as related to the Walters' collection, status of dissertation work, and need for fellowship support
• Curriculum vitae
• Official transcripts of undergraduate and graduate course work
• The names and addresses of three academic and/or professional references, who should send their letters of recommendation directly to the Walters

Please send all of the above by December 3, 2007, to:
