PAUL MELLON CENTRE Early Career Fellowship (New Narratives)

An annually awarded, two-year PMC Early Career Fellowship is to be granted to an early career researcher working in the field of British art history. The fellowship is part of the New Narratives set of funding opportunities designed to increase the diversity of perspectives of researchers and students within this field.

The fellowship is an award of £35,000 per year for two years and is designed to cover the living and sustenance costs of undertaking research in the field of British art or architectural history or British visual culture understood more broadly, from the medieval period to the present day and across the spectrum of relevant geographical and cultural context.

The New Narratives scheme particularly welcomes applications from those who are under-represented within the academic field of the humanities in the UK.

Applications are now open, the deadline is 23:59 on Saturday 31 January 2026. Referees have until 23:59 on Tuesday 10 February to submit their reference.
