We are excited to announce that applications for the 2026-2027 Conservation Guest Scholar cycle are now open.
The Conservation Guest Scholars Program provides opportunities for established scholars or professionals who have attained distinction in the cultural heritage conservation field.
Recipients are in residence at the Getty Conservation Institute for three months, in which they pursue their own projects free from work-related obligations, make use of research collections at the Getty Center and Getty Villa, and participate with other Getty scholars, fellows, and interns in the intellectual life of Getty.
Applications are welcome from researchers and practitioners of all nationalities working in conservation, historic preservation, heritage science and related fields. Applicants should have at least seven years of professional experience and should have an established record of publications and other contributions to the field. Individuals from groups underrepresented across the field of cultural heritage conservation are encouraged to apply. Proposals for postdoctoral research or research that contributes to a PhD or other academic degree will not be considered.
