The Performance Measurement and Evaluation Fellowship provides an opportunity for candidates with strong quantitative skills to apply their knowledge and passion to help advance the arts and humanities programming at Dumbarton Oaks. The fellow will play a key role in fostering a culture of evaluation and data-gathering across the institution by collecting, analyzing, and presenting metrics about all aspects of our public engagement to help us track development and impact over time.

The fellowship provides career development opportunities in fields such as data collection and analysis, museum programming, and audience evaluation and reporting.
