With funding from the Terra Foundation for American Art, the Research Forum is offering a one-week Visiting Professorship in American art.  This professorship is part of an initiative of the Terra Foundation that aims to internationalise the field of historical American art, building a network of scholarly peers and has been awarded in conjunction with similar professorships at the Freie Universität Berlin and the Institut national d’histoire de l’art in Paris.

The Professorship will be held during either the 2013-14 or 2014-15 academic years, in the alternate year to the twelve-week Visiting Professorship also currently been offered.
