Dumbarton Oaks is a research institute, museum, and historic garden in Washington, DC, affiliated with Harvard University. It supports research and learning internationally in Byzantine, Garden and Landscape, and Pre-Columbian Studies through its fellowship programs, publications, scholarly meetings, and exhibitions.

The Post-Baccalaureate Fellowships are for graduating seniors and recent Harvard College graduates who wish to develop and apply their research and professional skills while gaining experience, building a portfolio of successful projects, and contributing to the humanities. These fellowships emphasize the development of foundational and specific technical skills that enhance the career readiness and employability of liberal arts graduates.

Please see current opportunities below for more information on the terms of each appointment.

Eligibility: Candidates who have received a Harvard undergraduate degree within the past 3 years are eligible to apply. US citizens and permanent residents only (graduating seniors eligible for OPT may also apply). Dumbarton Oaks is an Equal Opportunity Employer (EOE).
