Fellowship Application Deadline: Monday, January 6, 2025
The Center for Netherlandish Art (CNA), Museum of Fine Arts, Boston [hyperlink, please insert: https://www.mfa.org/collections/center-for-netherlandish-art] invites applications for the CNA Research Fellowship Program’s 2025-2026 fellowship cycle. The CNA Fellowship program supports and nurtures future generations of scholars and specialists in Netherlandish Art. Through mentorship and access to the MFA’s rich collections, resources, and research facilities, fellows jointly further their professional development and are part of an active learning community. The CNA seeks to build a global cohort of fellows and foster meaningful connections to enhance the field of Netherlandish Art as a whole.
CNA Fellowships are open to talented individuals at different stages of their careers—from recent MA graduates to emerging scholars at the postdoctoral level. Proposed projects might address, for example, research for submission of a PhD proposal, PhD dissertation research and writing, and/or preparation of a publication.
To stimulate creative thinking and new scholarship, the program is open to individuals in all professional and academic fields. Supporting the MFA’s 360 approach to inclusion, the CNA acknowledges the continued need to make the field of Netherlandish art history more inclusive and equitable and seeks to foster emerging professionals of all identities and nationalities representing a range of backgrounds, prior experiences, and research priorities.
