Menil Drawing Institute Pre-Doc Fellowship

The establishment of a Fellowship Program is a key component of the Menil Drawing Institute as it aspires to become a major research center on modern and contemporary drawing. The program will foster the highest level of scholarship and make possible rich, interdisciplinary, object-based conversations on the drawing medium’s history, theory, criticism, and practice.

The Menil Drawing Institute Pre-Doctoral Fellowship is 9 months in length, and spans the academic calendar, lasting from September to June. Applications are welcome from American and international researchers who work in fields pertaining to modern and contemporary drawing practices. Applicants must have completed a master’s degree and completed their graduate coursework and passed any required pre-doctoral exams (“orals”) before the term of the fellowship begins.

The Fellow will receive a stipend of $3,000 per month to cover living and other expenses incurred during the Fellowship.
