Fellowship Application Deadline: Monday, January 6, 2025
The Center for Netherlandish Art (CNA), Museum of Fine Arts, Boston invites applications for
the CNA Research Fellowship Program’s 2025-2026 fellowship cycle. The CNA Fellowship
program supports and nurtures future generations of scholars and specialists in
Netherlandish Art. Through mentorship and access to the MFA’s rich collections, resources,
and research facilities, fellows jointly further their professional development and are part of
an active learning community. The CNA seeks to build a global cohort of fellows and foster
meaningful connections to enhance the field of Netherlandish Art as a whole.
CNA Fellowships are open to talented individuals at different stages of their careers—from
recent MA graduates to emerging scholars at the postdoctoral level. Proposed projects might
address, for example, research for submission of a PhD proposal, PhD dissertation research
and writing, and/or preparation of a publication.
To stimulate creative thinking and new scholarship, the program is open to individuals in all
professional and academic fields. Supporting the MFA’s 360 approach to inclusion, the CNA
acknowledges the continued need to make the field of Netherlandish art history more
inclusive and equitable and seeks to foster emerging professionals of all identities and
nationalities representing a range of backgrounds, prior experiences, and research priorities.
