The MUUS Collection Research Fellowship is a prestigious opportunity for curators and academics to engage deeply with the MUUS Collection archives. Awarded a $20,000 grant, the fellowship supports the fellow’s research and the development of an exhibition or publication concept that draws on works within the collection. Applicants must have a minimum of five years of professional experience in museums, galleries, universities, or similar cultural institutions, be fluent in English, and be willing to travel to Tenafly, New Jersey for up to a week during mutually agreed dates. The fellowship is open to international candidates, with a particular encouragement for individuals from underrepresented or marginalized communities. In addition to the financial award, fellows receive mentorship sessions with the Advisory Board and access to the MUUSEUM Research Portal, providing a robust platform for scholarly and curatorial exploration. The application deadline is July 31, 2026, and the fellowship offers a unique blend of funding, mentorship, and archival access for artists and scholars seeking to expand their research horizons.
