Smithsonian Institution 2022 Fellowship Program (SIFP) for International Researchers (US)
The Smithsonian Institution Fellowship Program offers opportunities for independent research or study related to Smithsonian collections, facilities, and/or research interests of the Institution and its staff. Fellowships are offered to graduate students, predoctoral students, and postdoctoral and senior investigators to conduct independent research and to utilize the resources of the Institution with members of the Smithsonian professional research staff serving as advisors and hosts. These fellowships are offered through the Smithsonian’s Office of Fellowships and Internships, and are administered under the charter of the Institution, 20 U.S. Code section 41 et seq.
Applicants who wish to conduct research at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) should go here as SAO application requirements and deadlines may be different.
The publication, Smithsonian Opportunities for Research and Study, outlines Smithsonian research activities and lists the research staff. Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact staff members to help identify potential advisors, determine the feasibility of the proposed research being conducted at the Smithsonian Institution, and the availability of relevant resources such as staff, collections, archives and library materials during the proposed tenure dates.

Animal behavior, ecology, and environmental science, including an emphasis on the tropics
Anthropology, including archaeology, cultural anthropology, linguistics, and physical anthropology
Astrophysics and astronomy
Earth sciences and paleobiology
Evolutionary & systematic biology
Folklife
History of science and technology
History of art, especially American, contemporary, African, and Asian art, twentieth-century American crafts, and decorative arts
