Conservation Guest Scholars
Through the Conservation Guest Scholars Program, Getty provides opportunities for established scholars or professionals who have attained distinction in the cultural heritage conservation field.
Recipients are in residence at the Conservation Institute for either a three-month or six-month residency, in which they pursue their own projects free from work-related obligations, make use of research collections at the Getty Center and Getty Villa, and participate with other Getty scholars, fellows, and interns in the intellectual life of Getty.
ELIGIBILITY
Proposals for postdoctoral research or research that contributes to a PhD or other academic degree will not be considered. Recent PhDs in chemistry and other physical or material sciences should apply to the Postdoctoral Fellowship in Conservation Science.
A related opportunity, the Getty Scholars Program at the Getty Research Institute, supports innovative research about art, conceived in the broadest terms, and its histories, by providing a locus for international scholars to forge collaborations across disciplines and professional practices, while also developing new audiences for their work.
EVALUATION CRITERIA
Conservation Guest Scholar Grants are awarded on a competitive basis. Applications are evaluated based on the following criteria:
- overall quality of the application;
- how the project would contribute to the advancement of practice in the conservation field;
- applicant’s past achievements;
- applicant’s qualifications to undertake the project; and
- how the project would benefit from the resources at Getty, including Getty’s library and collections.
