Post-Doc Fellowship, Clark Art Institute, Williamstown
The Research and Academic Program at the Clark Art Institute announces a
postdoctoral fellowship in the history and theory of art. The
successful candidate will join a small, committed staff in initiating
and implementing a series of programs—colloquia, conferences, workshops,
and other collaborations—designed to expand links among institutions
engaged in art history, visual studies, art, and curatorial practice.
The fellow also provides general support for Research and Academic
Program operations.
Applicants must hold the PhD in art history or a related field, as well
as possess a knowledge of critical and methodological issues in art
history and a demonstrable commitment to issues concerning the
discipline’s expanding geography. The position entails no restrictions
concerning geographic or historical specialization.
In addition to outstanding academic credentials, we seek a candidate
with the following qualities: proven organizational competence; an eye
for detail; an ability to manage and coordinate multiple projects
simultaneously; exceptional interpersonal skills; an ability to
collaborate with large and varied sets of colleagues; and a clear
investment in issues of methodology and critical art history. This is a
two-year full-time position that will begin at the start of the academic
year 2019-2020. There is the possibility of renewal for a third year.
The fellow will also have access both to a leading art research library
and the Research and Academic Program, which is among the country’s most
active and stimulating research institutions. The fellow also will have
the opportunity to co-host a colloquium related to their research in
their second year; for examples of recent events, please consult: https://www.clarkart.edu/rap/events
To apply, please send: cover letter, a current curriculum vitae, a
1-page description of a possible colloquium, and one publication (it may
