*****************************************************************************

The Smithsonian Fellowships in Museum Practice, a professional
development opportunity for experienced museum practitioners, academics,
and training providers, invites proposals for research beginning after
October 15, 2009.

 

The purpose of the fellowships program is to serve as a catalyst for
helping expand the intellectual resources and networking capacities of
museums and their personnel.

 

The program supports research about issues of theory and practice in
education, curation, exhibition, administration and other museum
functions and disciplines.  It offers competitively selected individuals
an opportunity to study a museological topic of their choice for
up-to-six months in residence at the Smithsonian. 

 

Through self-designed programs of activities, interviews, readings and
observations, fellows consult current museological scholarship while
generating their own original research projects, interact with
colleagues at the Smithsonian and develop meaningful relationships
within the broader Washington, DC cultural community.

 

Residency arrangements are individually structured to meet a fellow's
employment situation and research objectives.

 

 

Application deadline: February 15, 2009
