The fellow is expected to be in residence in Washington, DC, at The Phillips Collection during the fall and spring semesters throughout the term of the fellowship – July 2012 through June 2013. The Fellow wil l be expected to teach one undergraduate or graduate course at the Phillips' Center for the Study of Modern Art or at GWU's Foggy Bottom Campus, present at least one public lecture at the Phillips, and participate in other programs and discussions with scholars, critics, museum staff, and students at the museum and the university during the fellowship.

The Fellowship is open to untenured scholars who have received their Ph.D.s within the past five years.
