The Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden (SKD) [Dresden State Art Collections] is seeking to fill the position of a Postdoctoral fellow in the Kupferstich-Kabinett (Museum of Prints, Drawings and Photographs). Start at the earliest possible date (June 1, 2022 at the latest), for a 12-month period.

The Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden (SKD) [Dresden State Art Collections] are an internationally renowned museum complex comprising a total of 15 museums. With four further institutions, they present a unique diversity of topics that is unrivalled worldwide. At a variety of locations, some of the museums showcase their treasures in painstakingly restored, world-famous historic buildings. The collections house, research and share the stories of several million items. Besides the permanent and special exhibitions in Dresden, Leipzig and Herrnhut and other temporary exhibition venues in Saxony, the SKD also cooperate with other museums around the world. The SKD employs a team of roughly 450, many of whom are project-specific or externally funded personnel.

We are looking for a colleague with proven expert knowledge in Old Master drawings and particularly in Italian art to collaborate on the collection catalogue of the 16th-century Italian drawings in the Dresden Kupferstich-Kabinett. Since 2018, this project has been supported by a major grant from the Getty Foundation, as part of "The Paper Project. Prints and Drawings Curatorship in the 21st Century". The initiative’s primary focus is on training and professional development for early- to mid-career curators of prints and drawings.

The collection of Italian Renaissance drawings in the Dresden Kupferstich-Kabinett includes more than 600 individual sheets, as well as several albums. Among these works are celebrated drawings as well as a large group of unpublished works. The current research project aims at cataloguing this important part of our holdings. With respect to methodology, and with the wealth and diversity of the material in mind, particular attention is being paid to fostering a dialogue with international colleagues.

For more information, visit the project website.

Please send your application (cover letter, CV, work references, proof of qualification, earliest start date) electronically in one PDF file (max. 4 MB) by February 11, 2022 to: jobs@skd.museum.

Center for Book Arts is seeking applicants for our 2022 Book Art Research Fellowship.

Researchers and scholars in art history, literature, book history, library science, or museum studies that are based in the US are invited to submit research proposals that draw upon CBA’s unique collections of materials related to book art.

CBA’s Permanent Collection consists of three parts:
1. Fine Arts Collection of artists’ books, prints, and objects
2. Reference Library focused on the practice, theory, and history of book arts
3. CBA’s Archives containing records of original exhibitions presented at CBA and the history of CBA’s programmatic activities.
Taken as a whole, CBA’s collections serve as a historical record of book art as a creative medium and a framework for critical research into book art practice.

You can browse the collections online or make an appointment to visit in-person by emailing collections@centerforbookarts.org.

The individual(s) selected for the Fellowship will receive a modest stipend, be granted access to CBA’s collections, and are provided institutional support during the research process.

Fellows are expected to spend 2-3 weeks on-site at Center for Book Arts. Research periods can take place any time in the calendar year of 2022 outside of holidays and other planned closures.

At the culmination of the Fellowship, the selected individual(s) will present their research in a public talk. CBA will subsequently have the first right of refusal to publish their research in our Book Arts Review journal.

About our grants programme
The Printing Historical Society operates a programme of awards for work including:

Research on topics relating to the history of printing
Publishable reports on archives relating to the history of printing
Scope
Grants are limited to supporting historical research in printing technology, the printing and related industries, printed materials and artefacts, type and typefounding, print culture, and the history of printing processes and design. Applications for research funding may be for up to £1,000; applications for publishable reports on archives, up to £500. In both cases grants may be used to cover material or other expenses, including travel, accommodation, photography etc., but excluding basic subsistence expenses such as food. Training and employment (such as research assistance or salary replacement) costs will not be eligible for funding.

Assessment
Applications will be assessed on the viability of the project, the effectiveness of the proposed use of funding and the relevance of the proposed research to the aims of the Society. Applications should specify the amount requested and offer a budget for the envisaged use of the funds; applications for projects that are deemed to be primarily bibliographical, or for conference funding, are unlikely to be successful. Students, academics and independent researchers may apply; some preference will be given to independent researchers. All applicants are strongly encouraged to consider submitting the outcome of their research for publication in the Journal of the Printing Historical Society.

Publicity
An announcement is generally made in Printing History News when a new grant application period opens, but the Society also advertises its grants programme through a variety of public channels, including on this page of the Society’s website.

The Frick Collection is pleased to announce the availability of a two-year predoctoral fellowship for an outstanding doctoral candidate who wishes to pursue a curatorial career in an art museum. The fellowship offers invaluable curatorial training and provides the scholarly and financial resources required for completing the doctoral dissertation.

Other curatorial training responsibilities include participation in the daily administrative routines of a small museum. The Fellow will have a place of study, access to the collections and library, as well as introductions to New York City museums and libraries. Frick curators and conservation staff will be available for consultation on the dissertation. The Fellow will divide his or her time between the completion of the dissertation and activities in the Curatorial Department. The Fellow is considered a full-time temporary exempt employee for the duration of the two-year fellowship.

Eligibility

The CNA Fellowship Program supports and nurtures future generations of scholars and specialists in Netherlandish Art globally, with a focus on object-based research and learning in connection to public-facing scholarship. Through mentorship and access to the MFA’s rich collections, resources, and research facilities, fellows further their professional development and are part of an active learning community in Boston. Through the Fellowship Program, the CNA seeks to build a global cohort of fellows. By doing so, the Center aims to foster meaningful and lasting connections to enhance the field of Netherlandish Art as a whole.

Open Fellowships
The call for applications is now open! Applications are accepted on a rolling basis until January 30, 2022. Candidates are encouraged to apply at their earliest convenience.

During the program’s inaugural academic year, which begins in September 2022, the CNA will host up to three fellows. Two fellowships, lasting nine to twelve months, are available for candidates focusing on Netherlandish Art from the 17th century. Lasting for six months, the Flanders State of the Art Fellowship supports a fellow focused more specifically on Flemish art and culture from the period, supported by the Government of Flanders.

Fellowships at the CNA provide opportunities for talented individuals at different stages of their careers—from outstanding predoctoral candidates to emerging scholars at the postdoctoral level—to conduct independent research connected to the MFA’s collection of Netherlandish art. This may include preparation for submission of a PhD proposal, dissertation research and writing, and preparing a publication, among other research activities. As a multidisciplinary initiative, the Fellowship Program is open to individuals in a variety of professional and academic fields to encourage creative thinking and new scholarship. Fellows are drawn from a highly competitive international application pool and receive a workspace in the CNA Library. Compensation includes a salary and travel allowance as well as a generous benefits package.

Fellows share their research among themselves and with MFA staff, spark dialogue, and exchange ideas and opinions. They are fully incorporated into the work of the MFA and may consult on projects related to their research. Core to the CNA’s mission is the broad sharing of research with the public in order to promote the appreciation of Netherlandish art.
