Smithsonian Fellowships in Museum Practice: Call for Proposals 

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, 2010.

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, 2010
