Research FellowshipsSenior Fellowships are intended to give established scholars (working on any aspect of sculpture) time and space to develop a research project free from their usual work commitments. Up to 2 senior fellowships, for periods of between 3 to 6 weeks will be offered. We ask fellows to make a small contribution to the research programme in Leeds in the form of a talk or seminar.
Both fellowships provide accommodation, travel expenses and a per diem. The Institute offers the possibility of presenting finished research in published form, as a seminar, or as a small exhibition. The fellowships are an integral part of the research programme, presenting fresh perspectives on the Institute’s collections, opening up new collaborative possibilities and furthering research into sculpture.

About the Henry Moore Institute: The Henry Moore Institute aims to encourage research into sculpture. We are based in Leeds because this is where Henry Moore began his own sculpture training. Our building, in the centre of Leeds, was converted from Victorian merchants’ offices, and today houses exhibition galleries, a library, archive and audio-visual collection. Adjacent to the City Art Gallery, the Institute is a partnership between the Henry Moore Foundation and Leeds City Council and curates the Leeds sculpture collection; an outstanding and diverse collection of late 19th – and 20th-century British sculpture. This is complimented by the archive of sculptors’ papers, which is also focussed on British sculpture from the period after 1850. The book and audio-visual collections cover a wider range, both in terms of date and geography, replicating the diversity of our programme and of sculpture studies as a discipline. The Institute helps to develop a network of people with a particular interest in sculpture, stimulating debate and highlighting developing concerns in sculpture studies, as well as seeking to integrate the subject area with other disciplines. The research programme and facilities are central to the Institute’s work, and generate ideas for exhibitions, conferences, publications and collaborations.
