The Centre for Modern Art & Theory at Masaryk University Visiting Research Fellowship

The Centre for Modern Art & Theory, based at the Department of Art History, promotes research and teaching in the fields of modern and contemporary art, visual culture, aesthetics, design, and art criticism. It hosts several individual and joint research projects and organises a regular programme of events, including guest lectures, Work In Progress seminars, and reading groups.

The Visiting Fellow will be expected to undertake their research with the support of the Centre, deliver a presentation and/or lead a research activity, engage in intellectual exchanges with the Centre’s members and actively participate in the Centre’s regular programme of research activities. The proposed research project should thus be designed to encompass regional source research, libraries, archives, museums or monuments or have other thematic affinities with the Centre’s lines of research.

The Fellowship is open to researchers at any stage of their career who hold a PhD in a relevant field. The Fellow will receive a stipend of 50 000,- CZK (approximately 2 000€), intended to cover travel and accommodation costs and contribute to living expenses, for an expected stay of three to four weeks. Although the total amount of remuneration available is fixed at this amount, the Fellow may choose to stay longer using the same stipend. The Fellowship should take place during the autumn semester (September–December) 2025.

To apply, please send the following as email attachments to Dr Julia Secklehner (secklehner@phil.muni.cz) by the closing date of the 10th of January 2025:

  • A cover letter (two pages maximum) stating the applicant’s motivation for participating in the Centre for Modern Art and Theory and how they see themselves fitting into the Centre’s programme of research and briefly outlining the research the applicant proposes to undertake during the Fellowship. The letter should also state the applicant’s preferred dates for undertaking the Fellowship.
  • A CV, including a list of publications.
  • A writing sample (e.g., an article or a book/thesis chapter).

Applicants will be notified of the decision by the 31st of January 2025. Please direct any enquiries to the email address above.
