2012-13 Robert and Lisa Sainsbury Fellowships
The Sainsbury Institute for the Study of Japanese Arts and Cultures offers one Fellowship for a maximum period of one year and two or three short-term Fellowships of three months to half a year each. Both schemes will take place between September 2012 and August 2013. The appointed fellows will be provided with office space at the Sainsbury Institute's Norwich headquarters and encouraged to organise a workshop in Norwich towards the end of their tenure. The Institute now invites applications for its 2012-13 Sainsbury Fellowships.
Application procedure:
Fellowships are available for scholars who either hold a PhD from a North American, European or Asian university, or who are currently affiliated with an academic institution or museum. The application deadline is 1 March 2012.
- The Sainsbury Fellowships are intended to provide recipients with an opportunity to work in a scholarly environment conducive to completing a publication project.
- Any area of Japanese culture is eligible, although preference will be given to applications focusing on the history of art, cultural heritage, archaeology or architecture, or research with a strong visual component.
- The annual Fellowship carries a value of £23,500.
- The short Fellowships carry a value of between £8,000 and £12,000 depending upon their length.
The full Fellowship will commence in September 2012.
If you wish to apply for one of the short Fellowships, please indicate your preferred length of fellowship and start date. The actual date offered will be subject to negotiation.
