[press release]
This Visiting Fellowship Scheme provides scholars and curators with developmental opportunities and scholarly exchanges in the field modern and contemporary Asian art. Individuals engaged in the programme will be able to access information relating to works in the Tate Collection and draw on the resources in Tate’s library and archive. This is an ideal opportunity for a scholar or curator who wishes to undertake research at Tate and is keen to share their work on an international platform.
The terms of the individual fellowships will be agreed after consultation with the successful applicants.
However, all fellows are expected to:
• Produce a final report summarising the research project.
• Contribute research to one of Tate’s online publication platforms
• Convene a seminar or lecture at Tate or at a partner organisation.
The duration of the fellowship is negotiable (maximum three months) and there are two fellowships currently available. The starting dates are flexible, however both posts must be completed by January 2017. Fellowships are non-stipendiary. The posts are visiting opportunities; the successful applicants will not hold Tate staff positions. Each fellow will be reimbursed for their travel, accommodation and per diem expenses, the terms of which will be agreed with individuals on the basis of their particular projects and circumstances.
To apply please send a CV, the details of two referees, a specimen of a research publication, and a single-page project proposal by email to “trc.asia@tate.org.uk”
Application deadline: May 27 2016
Tate Research Centre: Asia
Tate Research Centre: Asia was established in 2012 following a generous grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. By advancing the documentation, acquisition and display of modern and contemporary Asian art, the centre aims to both deepen awareness and understanding of Tate’s growing international collection and address the significant challenge that Asian art represents in the UK in terms of access, public understanding and critical interpretation.
