MOHAI
Curator’s Fellowship
- Deadline:
- Budget: $5,000
-
Eligibility: The museum invites applications from community and academic researchers and historians whose work focuses on the history of the Pacific Northwest. Research should bring new interpretations or insight to MOHAI’s content.
The Curator’s Fellow conducts research in MOHAI’s collections and prepares a public presentation offering new insights on MOHAI materials and Puget Sound area history. This MOHAI collection-based project takes place over six months, including 10 to 20 hours of on-site research, and pays a stipend of $5000. MOHAI prioritizes research that includes stories of historically marginalized or excluded communities, particularly Black, Indigenous, People of Color.
MOHAI is interested in learning more about specific moments in Seattle’s history, and we would like our 2025 Curator’s Fellowship to address one of six topics. See website for details. Researchers will be asked to search within MOHAI’s collections for these stories, but also encouraged to do research at other local institutions.
