Job Description: The Camargo Foundation, located in Cassis, France, is an interdisciplinary and multicultural residential center for scholars pursuing studies in the humanities and social sciences related to French and francophone cultures as well as for composers, writers, and visual artists (painters, sculptors, photographers, filmmakers, video artists, and new media artists) pursuing creative projects.

The Foundation’s campus includes twelve furnished apartments, a reference library, a music/conference room, an artist’s studio with darkroom, a composer’s studio, and a studio for either an artist or a composer. Residencies are one semester (either early-September to mid-December or mid-January to mid-April).

Conditions of the Fellowship:

* The Camargo fellowship is a residential grant. A $1,500 stipend is also available. Fellows who need additional funds for living or research expenses should apply for them from other sources. Fellows may not accept gainful employment that coincides with their stay at Camargo. Fees for occasional lectures or participation in seminars are allowed.
* Spouses/adult partners and dependent minor children may accompany fellows for short stays or for the duration of the residency. Because of physical arrangements at the Camargo Foundation, accompanying children must be at least six years old upon arrival, and enrolled in and attend school. Only those whose names appear on the application form may be in residence.
* Fellows must actually be in residence at the Foundation. This stipulation does not preclude absences during weekends and recesses that coincide with those of the French schools in the Marseille-Aix-Cassis area. Frequent or prolonged absences are unacceptable.
* The time in Cassis must be spent on the project proposed to and accepted by the selection committee; i.e. the project may not be substantially altered without the approval of the committee.
* Project discussions are held once a week (except during semester breaks) so each fellow has an opportunity to present the project s/he is working on to the group. The project discussion serves as a progress report. A written report will be required at the end of the residency.
* Fellows are asked to give a copy of any completed work to the Camargo library. Any publication, exhibit, or performance resulting from the grant should give credit to the Foundation.

Applicants to the Camargo Foundation may include:

* Members of university and college faculties who wish to pursue special studies while on leave from their institutions;
* Independent scholars and professors emeriti working on specific projects;
* Teachers in secondary schools, public or private, benefiting from a leave of absence in order to work on some pedagogical or scholarly project;
* Graduate students whose academic residence and general requirements have been met and for whom a stay in France would be beneficial in completing the dissertation required for their degree;
* Composers, writers, and visual artists (painters, sculptors, photographers, video artists, filmmakers, and new media artists) with specific projects to complete.
