The Jan van Eyck Academie is an institute for research and production where artists, designers and theoreticians work alongside each other and establish cross-disciplinary exchange.
Annually, the Jan van Eyck organises a receptive recruitment campaign. Candidates are requested to submit proposals for research and/or production and to indicate the length of the desired research period (minimum 1 month, maximum 24 months).
Researcher’s Profile
Researchers are expected to have attained a level equivalent to a master’s degree, and preferably to have some years of professional experience.
Researchers are expected to establish the aims, methodologies and realisation of their projects.
Researchers are expected to independently formulate a relationship to the discipline of fine art, design or theory or to a collective research project.
Research Period
The academic year starts on 1 January and ends on 31 December.
Research candidates can apply for a one-year or two-year research period starting on 1 January.
It is also possible to apply to do research for a different period of time (from 1 month up to 24 months). In that case, research candidates must indicate the duration of their desired research period. A time frame for their research project, stating when they would like to start and end their stay at the Jan van Eyck, must be included in the application.
Language
The Jan van Eyck is an international institute that welcomes artists, designers and theoreticians from all over the world. The languages of communication in the institute are English and Dutch. Researchers are expected to have sufficient knowledge of English.
Stipend
Researchers who fully commit to the institute receive an annual stipend of € 9,360, paid in 13 instalments of € 720. Researchers who cannot fully comply to this condition receive only half of the annual stipend (€ 4,680).
The institute estimates living expenses, including accommodation, at € 645 a month – based on the Dutch standard for the minimal standard of living.
If a researcher obtains a grant from third parties, such as Unesco, through the mediation of the Jan van Eyck, a deduction will be applied to the stipend of the institute. If a researcher succeeds in finding additional financial means independently, that is to say, without mediation of the institute, these means will not be deducted from the Jan van Eyck stipend.
