Graduate Museum Fellows

These fellowships enhance the educational experiences provided by academic course work and teaching assistantships at the university, allowing students to extend their range of academic specializations and expertise, and to augment research skills by direct contact with objects in the collections. If necessary, these positions may be offered remotely in accordance with Yale policy.  

Eligibility

Graduate Museum Fellows at the Yale Center for British Art and the Yale University Art Gallery are open to PhD candidates in all disciplines. The number of fellowships offered may vary each year. Graduate Museum Fellows are designed to provide Yale University doctoral students, in their second through sixth year, the opportunity to work as part of an intellectual team on a major scholarly project at one of the museums.
