Fellowship, Nichols House Museum, Boston, MA
Posted March 22, 2018
The Nichols House Museum is pleased to offer the Julie Linsdell and Georgia Linsdell Enders Research Fellowship for the summer of 2018. The Linsdell Fellow will complete a focused research paper of their choice related to the museum’s educational mission.
Topics should be relevant to the history of the house and the Nichols family, and should be set in the broader context of artistic, social and political movements that took place between 1804 to 1960. The chosen candidate will work with the staff of the museum and at area archives to complete the research project in the time allotted.
The paper will exist as an interpretive resource for the museum’s staff and should therefore be heavily supported by research from outside archives. At the conclusion of the fellowship, a final research paper must be submitted and a public presentation of research findings is required. This 175 hour, 6-8 week position comes with a stipend of $2,500, and will begin and end during the summer of 2018 at mutually agreed upon dates.
Completed applications are due by April 30, 2018, to info@nicholshousemuseum.org and must include a resume, contact information for two references, and a cover letter outlining your interest in the fellowship and detailing your proposed research topic.
