Art History Curatorial Research Stays in Rome

The Bibliotheca Hertziana – Max Planck Institute for Art History in Rome offers Curatorial Research Stays with a duration of three months to museum curators for projects on Italian art history from Late Antiquity to the present day in the context of their respective museum activities (e.g. curatorial research for the preparation of an exhibition or the editing of an inventory catalogue). A correlation to the current research priorities of the Bibliotheca Hertziana is welcome.

Curatorial Research Fellows receive a monthly expense allowance of approximately 1.750 € and are granted full access to all research resources of the Bibliotheca Hertziana. They are expected to reside in Rome for the duration of the fellowship and to actively take part in the institute's scientific life.

Museum-employed researchers who do not reside in Rome or the surrounding area are eligible to apply. Applications must include a summary of the candidate’s research project (max. 3 pages), CV and list of publications, and a cover letter with indication of the desired grant period. 

Applications for the 2025 grants may be submitted through our recruitment platform by June 30, 2024.
