Morgan-Menil Fellowship

The Morgan Drawing Institute and the Menil Drawing Institute, Houston, will award one research fellowship of three to nine months to support independent projects on some aspect of the history, theory, interpretation, or cultural meaning of drawing throughout the history of art. Preference will be given to projects that would benefit from the resources of the Morgan Library & Museum and the Menil Collection. The Morgan-Menil Fellow is expected to spend part of the fellowship period in residence at the Morgan Library & Museum and another part at the Menil Collection. The majority of the Fellow's time will be spent on the research project for which the fellowship is awarded, but the Fellow is expected to participate fully in the intellectual life of the Morgan and the Menil and to attend Drawing Institute programs during their tenure at each institution. The Fellow will make a presentation on their research during the time of the fellowship at both institutions. The fellowship provides a monthly stipend commensurate with experience: $4000/month for pre-doctoral fellows, $4850/month for post-doctoral fellows in the first seven years beyond their PhD, or $5100/month for mid-career scholars, plus a modest travel allowance. Fellows receive a one-time payment of $1500 for relocation expenses and reimbursement for one-way travel between New York and Houston at the mid-point of the fellowship. Health insurance is not provided.
