One Rome Fellowship
is offered annua
lly to allow a Senior or Mid-Career scholar three months at the
British School at Rome to work on an Anglo-Italian art-historical topic of any
period from the medieval era onwards.
The Paul Mellon
Centre for Studies in British Art offers a variety of Fellowships (for
individuals) and Grants (for institutions and individuals) twice a year in a
strictly timetabled schedule. The programme supports scholarship,
academic research and the dissemination of knowledge in the field of British
art and architectural history from the medieval period to the present, although
all supported topics must have an historical perspective.
We do not offer
fellowships and grants in the fields of archaeology, the current practice of
architecture or the performing arts. We have no discretionary funds outside our
stated programme.
The Rome
Fellowship is for the three months April to June 2017. The Fellowship cannot be
deferred to a later academic year nor can it run concurrently with a Fellowship
awarded by another institution.
Scope of
the Rome Fellowship
This three-month
full-time Rome
Fellowship will be awarded by the Paul Mellon Centre for
Studies in British Art, in conjunction with the British School at Rome. The
Fellowship is for an individual employed at a University, Institution of Higher

is intended for individuals who have already published a significant body of
scholarly work and/or are internationally recognised in their field of
expertise. The Paul Mellon Centre will make allowance for applicants who have
had a career break or who are established scholars without doctorates.
This award allows a
senior or mid-career scholar three months at the British School at Rome to work
on an Anglo-Italian artistic or architectural topic. Applicants are expected to
provide details of the proposed outcomes of their research in Rome in their
application.
The Rome Fellowship is
offered for the period April to June 2017.
