Description
Dumbarton Oaks offers these fellowships through its Harvard Programs for graduating seniors and recent Harvard College graduates. Fellows spend eleven months working closely with a staff mentor on projects that contribute to institutional initiatives or operations. The program aims to build technical and research skills, professional networks, a portfolio of completed projects, and readiness for humanities careers.
Current opportunities span curatorial work, digital media, education, and plant humanities. Depending on the role, fellows may document museum collections, create public-facing media, facilitate student learning, or research and publish plant humanities content.
