NMK Museum Network Fellowship

About the program

The National Museum of Korea has offered the annual NMK Museum Network Fellowship to shed light on Korean Studies.

The program, initiated in 2012, is designed to promote overseas museum-related Korean studies. Participants are brought together at the Museum once a year to build a museum network for future generations and enhance the quality of research.

Given the program’s purpose, eligible applicants do not include Korean citizens. In addition, candidates should not hold any relevant previous, concurrent, or subsequent fellowships or academic research positions at any Korean institution. Desired candidates are doctoral students and post-doctoral researchers—in some cases, master’s degree students might be considered—in museum-related Korean studies. Candidates not focused on Korean studies will be considered if their field of specialization pertains to Far East Asia. This is a bilingual program. Proficiency in English is required, and fluency in Korean is an advantage for participation. Applicants are required to submit their final papers by the 31st of October.

Curriculum

The program provides participants with valuable opportunities to gain field experience through comprehensive lectures on Korean Art, museum visits, and field trips to heritage sites around Korea.
