Student Awards / Fellowships

Guidelines for the Selection of Student Fellowships:
Each year, SGC International awards two student fellowships; one undergraduate ($500) and one graduate ($1000). Students may self-nominate, but must have a faculty sponsor who will submit a letter of support (nomination), and must be enrolled at the time of application. Applicants and the faculty sponsor must be SGCI members in good standing.

Fellowship recipients will be awarded their fellowship during the SGCI Awards Ceremony. Award recipients will be afforded all possible opportunities to be listed in conference/council publications and on the website. At the conclusion of the fellowship year, recipients will need to provide the SGCI Archives with digital documentation of the work produced under the auspices of this fellowship. SGC International will also make every effort to present fellowship recipients’ work at the following year’s conference, however this may not always be possible and will depend upon the resources available to the conference planners in any particular year.

The deadline for submission of nominees is December 15 of the year immediately preceding the conference for which the individual is nominated to receive the award (i.e. December 15, 2019 for fellowships to be awarded at the 2020 conference).

"The World of Print(s): Multiples and Meanings in Early Modern Europe and North America"

Program co-directors: Mark Hosford (Associate Professor of Art) and Kevin Murphy (Andrew W. Mellon Chair in the Humanities and Professor of History of Art)

The Robert Penn Warren Center for the Humanities will host a year-long interdisciplinary faculty seminar to explore the significance of printed words and images in Early Modern Europe and North America. Though the current age is often considered unique in terms of the amount of information constantly flooding the airwaves and the Internet, it is important to historicize the current phenomenon in comparison to the Early Modern period when there was an explosion of printed materials that similarly saturated the West. The advent of cheap print in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries meant that larger audiences than ever before had access to the marketplace of written words, some serious and thoughtful, some salacious and sensational. Images on woodblocks combined with moveable type made possible the publication of a variety of illustrated texts as well. The visual culture brought about by the advent of this technology in the Early Modern period was the backdrop to the work of some of the greatest printmakers of all time.

The seminar participants will put printed works—comprising both textual and visual elements—at the center of an analysis that sees them as representations of discourses external to the objects and, at the same time, as material things. Seminar participants will draw upon contemporary scholarship through various disciplinary lenses, including literary theory and art history. By bridging a variety of disciplines, scholars in the seminar will produce a synthetic view of Early Modern visual culture and its role in shaping political and social opinion. This collaborative work will lead to new perspectives on current debates regarding the presentation and circulation of information and images in the twenty-first century.

We invite applications for the William S. Vaughn Visiting Fellowship from scholars in all disciplines whose lively presence will help to focus our work and stimulate discussions. The successful applicant will have completed the terminal degree in her/his field at the time of application and will have a record of scholarly publications, research, or creative expression. The seminar will meet regularly and will also allow the Visiting Fellow ample time to pursue a major research project. The combined interests of the Visiting Fellow and the Vanderbilt Faculty Fellows will determine the form and content of seminar discussions.

The Visiting Fellow is provided with a spacious office within the Center’s own building. The fellowship pays a stipend of up to $50,000 and provides $2,000 in moving expenses. Application materials may be downloaded from our website: vanderbilt.edu/rpw_center.

Complete applications must be submitted by January 19, 2018.

A Doctoral Research Fellowship is available at The Astrup Centre, which is situated at KODE in Bergen. The PhD will be supervised from and follow the PhD program at the Department of Philosophy, Classics, History of Art and Ideas (IFIKK), University of Oslo, and will both participate in and contribute to the activities at The Astrup Centre. The fellowship will provide an exceptional opportunity to combine academic research with the acquisition and development of curatorial skills.

JOB DESCRIPTION

Context for PhD
The Astrup Centre, funded by the DNB Savings Bank Foundation, aims to establish Nikolai Astrup’s position within the wider context of Norwegian and European art through research, publications – including catalogues raisonnés, exhibitions - public programmes and digital media presence. The PhD is intended to reflect and enhance this remit.

Scope of PhD
Nikolai Astrup has benefitted from a small number of publications derived from tertiary level research. However, a publication on his prints (2010) and recent research in conjunction with the 2016 international exhibition, ‘Painting Norway: Nikolai Astrup (1880–1928)’ and the proposed conservation programme for Astruptunet, the artist’s farmstead in Jølster, have revealed new material and insights, not least in his perception of, and responses to contemporary manifestations of mainstream modernisms.

While these could shape a PhD proposal, the candidate might also chose to investigate one or more of the following topics, although these are not proscriptive:

- Astrup and Nordic Modernism
- Astrup’s international contexts – from Symbolism to Expressionism: indebtedness
vs personal innovation
- Astrup and Japonisme
- Astrup and the meaning of landscape
- Astrup as writer – letters, essays, artist’s notes, and their languages
- The cultural milieu of Astrup and the consolidation of national identity – authors,
fellow artists, collectors
- Astrup as draughtsman – drawings, prints

The art history department within IFIKK has Nordic modernism as one of its prioritized areas. This will ensure that the candidate will be working in a stimulating and creative research environment. The academic work is to result in a doctoral thesis that will be defended at the Faculty with a view to obtaining the degree of PhD.

As a part of the PhD, the candidate will obtain curatorial training through the Astrup Centre’s activities, which involves documentation, collection management, curating and public programmes, and be a part of an interdisciplinary professional museum environment. The appointment is for the duration of four years; it is envisaged that 75% of the time will be spent completing the doctoral programme provided by the University of Oslo, and 25% working in designated areas within the Astrup Centre, KODE.

QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
- Applicants must hold a Master’s degree or equivalent in Art History or other relevant discipline. The Master’s Degree must have been obtained by the time of application.
- Fluent oral and written communication skills in English, as well as an ability to read historical Norwegian sources in Riksmål and Landsmål
- Personal suitability and motivation for the position
- In assessing the applications, special emphasis will be placed on:
- The applicant’s estimated academic and personal ability to complete the project within the time frame
- The applicant’s ability to complete research training
- The applicant’s motivation for curatorial training and museum activities at The Astrup Centre at KODE
- Good collaboration skills and an ability to join interdisciplinary academic communities

WE OFFER
- Salary NOK 436 900 - 490 900 per annum depending on qualifications in a position as PhD Research fellow, (position code 1017)
- Professionally stimulating work environments
- Curatorial experience within the activities of The Astrup Centre

FOR APPLICATION DETAILS, view External Link below.

SFAI and Headlands Center for the Arts are currently seeking applications for the Fall 2018 Richard Diebenkorn Teaching Fellowship. Established in 1998 by the generosity of the family of painter Richard Diebenkorn—both an alumnus and longtime faculty member of SFAI—the Fellowship provides an opportunity for artists to teach at SFAI and have sufficient time and financial support to sustain their practice while doing so in the renowned studio environment of Headlands Center for the Arts. Through its semester-long structure that includes a residency with studio space at Headlands, the Fellowship not only offers each participating artist an invaluable opportunity to further their own practice, it also leaves a deep, lasting impression on SFAI’s students. This year’s Fellowship is open only to artists who reside in the United States and outside of the Bay Area. Artists must apply by the deadline of Friday, September 29, 2017. Please see details below about important dates, application fees, eligibility, and process.

Eligibility
Applications are sought from early to mid-career artists who have an established body of work and exemplary exhibition record in the media of painting and drawing. Applicants must reside within the United States and outside of the Bay Area. (In alternate years, the Richard Diebenkorn Teaching Fellowship is awarded to Bay Area residents.) The review committee will consider the applicant’s experience, their appropriateness to the SFAI and Headlands communities, and the quality of work and written statements.

Fellowship award
The Richard Diebenkorn Teaching Fellow will receive 25,000 USD in compensation to teach two courses in the fall 2018 semester, give a public lecture in the Visiting Artists and Scholars Lecture Series, and engage with the SFAI community through individual student critiques, academic programs, and activities. Fellows are expected to be in residence full-time at Headlands during the fellowship, August 27 to December 7, 2018.

This prestigious award has been given to 17 artists since 1998, including Brad Brown, Shaun O’Dell, Iona Rozeal Brown, Josephine Taylor, Monica Majoli, Polly Apfelbaum, and Liam Everett. See a complete list of recipients here.

Integral to the Fellowship is a residency at Headlands Center for the Arts. The residency includes housing, an 800-square-foot studio, five chef-prepared meals each week, and access to shared vehicles. Artists in Residence are encouraged to engage with other residents and participate in the dynamic creative community of the Center, and are asked to participate in the seasonal Open House where resident artists share their work with the visiting public.

Papers presented by the BSA New Scholars are submitted for publication in the December issue of the Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America as part of the proceedings of the annual meeting.

Junior (i.e., untenured) faculty and graduate students at the dissertation level are eligible, as are professional librarians, members of the book trade, and book collectors who are at the beginning of their careers. Candidates should submit a letter of application, an abstract of not more than 250 words, and a curriculum vitae. Graduate students should also submit a letter of recommendation from their dissertation director. For submissions to be considered for the following January, materials should be received by 31 July.

Applications may be submitted online using this form:
