Howard and Roberta Ahmanson Fellow in Art and Religion, The National Gallery

The National Gallery is seeking two outstanding early-career scholars to each take up an exciting 22-month full-time postdoctoral fellowship based in our newly established Research Department. These fellowships will offer a rare opportunity to work at the heart of one of the world's leading galleries while developing a distinctive portfolio of research, teaching, curating, and public engagement. The Fellow will play an active role across the full breadth of Gallery life, with particular focus on producing innovative interdisciplinary research; contributing to curatorial activity; teaching on our co-convened MA programme with King's College London; and developing collaborative public engagement projects.

This is an exceptional opportunity for an intellectually ambitious, imaginative, and highly motivated candidate seeking to build a career at the highest level in research, curating, public engagement, or academic life. Candidates should hold a PhD or equivalent professional experience in a field relevant to the fellowship. You will bring good prior experience in at least one or more areas covered by the fellowship, for instance interdisciplinary research, university-level teaching, curating, and public engagement.
