This 12-to-24-month fellowship, starting in early January 2026, offers comprehensive curatorial training and professional development.

The fellow will collaborate with various PEM departments, including Curatorial, Exhibition Planning, Registration, Collection Services, and Learning & Community Engagement.
We are looking for persons of Native American, Alaska Native, Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian), First Nations, Métis, and Inuit heritage; members of federally recognized tribes, consistent with the distinctions established under federal law; individuals who reside on Native or tribal lands; and artists and scholars whose work and/or study contributes to the artistic traditions, research, and preservation of Native American art, culture, and history, and who demonstrate consistent commitment through their life and their work to the purpose of the program and the cultural and educational mission of the museum.
