The Terra Foundation for American Art and the American Academy in Rome are pleased to offer the Terra Foundation Affiliated Fellowship in Rome.
This fellowship offers support for a postdoctoral or senior scholar to conduct research on American art and visual culture (not including architecture) prior to 1980. The selected candidate will be in residence at the American Academy in Rome for a period of four to six months, during which time, he or she will pursue research in an atmosphere conducive to intellectual and artistic freedom, interdisciplinary exchange, and innovation. The fellowship includes housing*, meals, a private study, a stipend of $2,500 per month, and privileged access to Rome.
* A single room is the standard offer, but larger spaces are available, for a fee, to accommodate a spouse and/or children.
The fellowship has the following objectives:
1. To stimulate research on topics treating issues of Italian–American exchange
2. To enrich the field of historic American art by bringing its practitioners into dialogue with the scholarly community of the American Academy in Rome
3. To advance postdoctoral research on subjects related to the history of American art until 1980 by scholars based in Italy
4. To encourage research on American art requiring first-hand exposure to collections and archives in the Rome area
The deadline for applications is November 15, 2020.
Applicants may be of any nationality, provided their research would be facilitated by residence at the Academy. Applicants must hold a PhD at the time of application. Senior scholars are welcome to apply. Topics dealing with Italian–American exchanges and requiring first-hand exposure to collections and archives in Rome and its vicinity will be given priority.
