Job Offer from February 27, 2025
The Bibliotheca Hertziana – Max Planck Institute for Art History in Rome offers Curatorial Research Fellowships with a duration of three months to museum curators for projects on Italian art history from Late Antiquity to the present day in the context of their respective museum activities (e.g. curatorial research for the preparation of an exhibition or the editing of an inventory catalogue). A correlation to the current research priorities of the Bibliotheca Hertziana is welcome.
Curatorial Research Fellows receive a monthly reimbursement for accommodation expenses of up to € 2,000 and a one-off reimbursement of their travel expenses of up to € 400 within the EU and € 1,000 outside the EU, in each case upon presentation of the respective receipts.

They are expected to spend the majority of their fellowship in Rome and to actively participate in the academic life of the institute.
Museum-employed researchers who do not reside in Rome or the surrounding area are eligible to apply.
Applications must include:
- a summary of the candidate’s research project (max. 3 pages)
- CV
