*The Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM) and its Renwick Gallery* invite
applications for research fellowships in the art and visual culture of the
United States. Fellowships are residential and support full-time
independent and dissertation research. SAAM is home to one of the largest
and most inclusive collections of American art in the world. Housed in a
National Historic Landmark building—shared with the National Portrait
Gallery and the Archives of American Art—the museum is a short walk from
other Smithsonian museums and libraries, the Library of Congress, the
National Archives, and the National Gallery of Art. Regular lunchtime
seminars, workshops, and symposia organized by SAAM’s Research and Scholars
Center provide a forum for lively scholarly exchange and professional
advancement.

The stipend for a one-year fellowship is $40,000 for predoctoral scholars
and $55,000 for postdoctoral and senior scholars, with an allowance of up
to $4,000 available for short research trips. Additional allowances may be
provided to help with temporary relocation and the cost of health
insurance. Senior-level recipients of the Terra Foundation Fellowships are
eligible for an augmented stipend of $60,000 for the full year. The
standard term of residency is twelve months, but terms as short as three
months are available with prorated stipends. All fellowships must take
place between June 1, 2021, and August 31, 2022. The Smithsonian Office of
International Relations will assist with arranging J-1 exchange visas for
fellowship recipients who require them.
