Fellowship at Rijksmuseum

Research Fellowship Programme
The Rijksmuseum

The Rijksmuseum operates a research fellowship programme for
outstanding candidates working on the art and history of the Low
Countries whose principal concern is object-based research.  The aim
of the Rijksmuseum Research Fellowship Programme is to train a new
generation of museum professionals: inquisitive object-based
specialists who will further develop understanding of Netherlandish
art and history for the future.  The focus of research should relate
to the Rijksmuseum's collection.  The purpose of the programme is to
enable doctoral candidates to base part of their research at the
Rijksmuseum and to encourage the understanding of Netherlandish art
and history by offering students and scholars access to the museum's
collections, library, conservation laboratories and curatorial
expertise.  Partnership and collaboration is at the heart of these
fellowships, which provide support for the museum and its research
priorities, as well as its academic and non-academic partners.

The DSM-JLL Fellowship will enable one doctoral candidate to conduct
conservation research.  Specifically, the fellowship supports
conservation research or technical research on Dutch paintings. This
fellowship has a one-year duration.

The closing date for all applications is 15 March 2015, at 6 pm
(Amsterdam time/CET).  Selection will take place in April 2015.
Applicants will be notified by 1 May 2015.  All fellowships will
start in September 2015.
