The Metropolitan Museum of Art offers two fellowships (each for a two-year term) annually to scholars studying Cubism or a related topic. One position is intended for a predoctoral candidate who is embarking on his or her dissertation; the other fellowship is reserved for a qualified postdoctoral scholar at any stage of his or her career. All Lauder Fellows are expected to contribute to the activities and programming of the Leonard A. Lauder Research Center.
All fellows must be in residence at the Metropolitan Museum during the fellowship period. All fellowships must take place between September 1, 2016, and August 31, 2018. The stipend amount for one year is $55,000 for senior fellows and $45,000 for predoctoral fellows.
