Curatorial Research Residency (2026–27)
Paul Mellon Centre & Fleming-Wyfold Art Foundation
The Paul Mellon Centre (PMC) and the Fleming-Wyfold Art Foundation invite applications for a Curatorial Research Residency to take place during 2026–27. This Residency will support an early-career researcher with a strong interest in Scottish art to undertake in-depth curatorial research on a work, or group of works, from the Fleming-Wyfold Art Foundation’s collection. The successful applicant will make significant use of the PMC’s Archives & Library during their research, as well as the Fleming-Wyfold Art Foundation’s collection and network, and be given academic and curatorial support from both institutions. They will then develop a proposal for a display suitable for the PMC’s Display Room. We anticipate that the residency will require approximately 15–18 days of work. How this time is distributed across the residency period is flexible and can be agreed with the Centre and the Fleming-Wyfold team, depending on the successful candidate's approach to the project. We expect that some time will be spent working with the PMC Archives & Library, though this need not follow a fixed weekly pattern. If the proposal is approved, the Curatorial Resident will then be involved in installing the display at the PMC in early January 2027.
