Each year the Center for Italian Modern Art (CIMA) awards multiple fellowships to support research on and the study of Italian modern and contemporary art for doctoral and post-doctoral scholars. Citizens of all nationalities are eligible. CIMA offers a unique experience to its fellows: its exhibition program serves as a hub for scholars from different academic backgrounds to share—with each other and with the public—research that speaks to the artworks on view. The fellowship has two main components: 1) research conducted through close examination of the artworks and individualized study of a topic raised by the exhibition; 2) community engagement, through public programming in collaboration with CIMA staff and in-person exhibition tours. During their residency, fellows also have the opportunity to pursue their own research and connect with scholars and other professionals in and around New York. The research produced by fellows is shared during an international conference organized in the context of each exhibition, and the revised proceedings of the conference are later published in CIMA’s online scholarly journal, Italian Modern Art.
Fellowships offered
2-3 residential research fellowships for doctoral and post-doctoral scholars (up to 7 years after PhD conferment), from the fields of Art History, Italian Studies, and related disciplines in the Liberal Arts. Fellowships last 4-5 months, according to the duration of each exhibition. Fellowships include 1) monthly stipend; 2) travel, health insurance, coverage of visa processing fees (if necessary); 3) a small research budget.
Application Deadline: On a rotating basis; current deadline is December 10, 2023
