The fellowship program, directed by Gerhard Wolf and Hannah Baader
and under the patronage of the General Director of the SMB, Michael
Eisenhauer, aims to strengthen the collaboration between museums
and research institutes and to promote projects to be realized in
close contact with the objects and collections of the SMB. The
fellowships are open to scholars of art history and related fields
(in particular European, Islamic, Byzantine and Asian Art). We seek
scholars whose work has a broad horizon and whose interests focus
on the interartistic and intercultural agency as well as the
mobility of ideas, artists and works of arts within the framework
and in relation to the program. This also includes research
projects dedicated to its historiographical and museographical
dimension.
The fellowships will be located in the individual museums of the
SMB, in the first year these are the Museum für Islamische Kunst
(Museum of Islamic Art), the Museum für Asiatische Kunst (Museum of
Asian Art), and the Kunstbibliothek (Art Library and Collection of
Photography). At the same time the fellows will work as a research
group, with joint seminars, workshops and conferences involving
museum curators, international experts and scholars/fellows of the
KHI. Working languages are German and English.
Fellowships are for one year, with the possibility of an extension
for a second year. The fellowship (including travel expenses) follows
the rules of the Max-Planck-Society. A second fellowship year will be
considered upon presentation of the researcher's first year results.
The application deadline is 15 November 2009. Application languages
are English or German. Applicants should send a C.V., a research
proposal, one substantial writing sample or a portfolio, and two
letters of recommendation to:
Prof. Dr. Gerhard Wolf, Director, Kunsthistorisches Institut -
