The Italian Academy invites applications for positions in its Fellowship Program, which will be devoted to the conservation and preservation of heritage and the contemporary destruction of art and architecture. Topics relating to the political uses and abuses of cultural heritage as well as to the exchange, transport, and trafficking of objects will also be considered. This fellowship year will coincide with the establishment of the Academy's International Observatory for Cultural Heritage.

As in the past, special attention will be given to proposals relevant to the Academy's ongoing project in Humanities and Neuroscience. Fellowships are open to both U.S. and non-U.S. citizens at the post-doctoral and faculty level. Applications are encouraged from all countries. Fellows receive a stipend, health benefits, travel allowance and an office in the Academy. Deadline: Monday, December 7, 2015
