Davidson Family Fellowship

Now taking applications for the Davidson Family Fellowship

The Amon Carter Museum of American Art invites applications for the 2025–2026 Davidson Family Fellowship. The fellowship provides support for scholars holding a PhD (or equivalent) or PhD candidates to work on research projects in American art that advance scholarship by connecting with objects in the museum’s permanent collection.

The stipend rate is $5,000 per month for a minimum one-month to a maximum four-month period of full-time research at the museum. During their stay, all fellows are expected to actively participate in the scholarly life of the Museum, and at the end of their appointment they are asked to present research progress in the form of a lecture or roundtable discussion.

The application deadline is June 27, 2025, for a fellowship to begin on or after October 1, 2025, and end by September 30, 2026. Housing and travel expenses are to be managed and funded by the fellow.
