Visiting Fellows will be expected to conduct a programme of their own research, give one public lecture at the BSA and an open seminar as part of the established programme. They should also be willing to concern themselves with the current students and their work and may wish to contribute additional lectures or seminars as appropriate in discussion with the Director.

Getty Scholars program at the Getty Villa

In Funding & Fellowships, Position Announcements

The J. Paul Getty Museum is pleased to announce the research theme for the 2024 – 2025 Getty Scholars Program at the Villa, “Anatolia – The Classical World in Context.” Applications for residential scholar grants and postdoctoral fellowships are due on 2 October 2023. Please share this announcement with interested colleagues.

The Getty Scholars Program at the Villa will examine relations between the Greek cities of western Asia Minor and Anatolian civilizations from the 2nd millennium to the Roman Imperial period. In the Late Bronze Age, diplomatic ties linked the Hittite and Luwian kingdoms with the Mycenaeans at Miletos. During the 7th and 6th centuries BCE, the eastern Greeks were at the forefront of revolutionary advances in the arts, monumental architecture, poetry, philosophy, history, and the natural sciences. This “Ionian Enlightenment,” however, culminated within a dynamic cultural and political setting alongside Phrygia, Lydia, Caria, and Lycia, which had already emerged as regional powers over the previous two centuries. Subject to Persian rule after 547 BCE, Greek and Anatolian communities redefined their own identities until the conquest of Alexander the Great and the advent of Roman rule once again transformed the cultural landscapes of the entire region.

The 2024–2025 Getty Scholars Program at the Villa continues a two-year initiative on the interconnectivities that conditioned relations between Anatolian cultures and their Greek neighbors, and the consequent impact on the wider Mediterranean. Priority will be given to research projects that explore multidisciplinary approaches to art and material culture, texts, and other sources.

Deadline: 2 October 2023

How to Apply:

The research theme statement, as well as detailed instructions, eligibility requirements, and a link to apply are available online at: https://www.getty.edu/projects/villa-scholars-program/

Residential grants and fellowships are available for scholars at all stages of their careers:

  • Getty postdoctoral fellowships
