Fellow

Crafts Weekend at the Batavialand Museum Uncover hidden stories at Museum Batavialand Museum Batavialand Land & Water Fellowship Researching the history of the Zuiderzee region and Flevoland. Museum Batavialand invites recent graduate researchers to dive deep into our extraordinary heritage collections for three months. We tell the story of the Zuiderzee region, where maritime history, archaeology and craft come together in a unique way. Our collections - the National Ship Archaeological Depot, the Flevoland Provincial Archaeological Depot and the Heritage Collections of Flevoland - provide a rich basis for innovative research. With this fellowship we want to stimulate scientific research and offer space to a new generation of researchers. You determine the topic yourself, as long as the research is based on objects, archives or partial collections of Museum Batavialand. What can you research? The possibilities are broad. Research, for example, why the Markermeer was never reclaimed or what archaeological traces are still hidden there. Delve into the shipwrecks that will soon take center stage in our renovated museum, such as the mysterious paintings from the Ventjager or the four-hundred-year-old eggs from the Beurtvaarder. Or investigate the material culture of the drowned medieval villages of Flevoland: was the area between 1100 and 1400 really as empty as is often thought, or does that picture require more nuance? We welcome original and innovative research proposals that offer new insights into the history of the Zuiderzee region, Flevoland and our shared heritage. What do we ask? You: - Have recently graduated (no more than three years ago), or are completing your studies before the start of the fellowship; - Holds a master's degree in archaeology, history or other relevant study with historical and/or archaeological perspective; - Are available for research for three consecutive months, including at least three days ...
