The Kellogg Institute for International Studies has been providing visiting fellowships to promote interdisciplinary international research in a supportive community of scholars since 1983.This widely respected residential program offers time to pursue scholarly inquiry where it takes you, advance your personal research, and collaborate with other scholars and practitioners from across the US and around the globe.
As a visiting fellow, the candidate have the opportunity to pursue research related to Kellogg Institute themes of democracy and human development, share your research with the Notre Dame scholarly community, and have the opportunity to publish in Kellogg’s peer-reviewed Working Paper Series.
The Kellogg Institute gives the opportunity to the leading scholars to interact with one another through the Institute’s seminars and lectures, international conferences, roundtable discussions on world affairs as well as cultural events. The facilities at the Hesburgh Center are ideal for scholarly research. Visiting fellows have spacious offices, on-site information technology support, personal library services through a branch of the University’s library, and use of a variety of campus facilities.
Visiting Fellowships include:
•Stipend
•Travel expenses
•Medical insurance benefits
•Partial housing subsidy for the Hesburgh Center Residences or other on-campus housing
Up to $1,500 of conference travel support for recipients of one and two-year fellowships
Eligibility Criterion:
We invite applications from scholars and practitioners who conduct international research on our themes of democracy and/or human development. Applicants may come from any country and typically fall into three groups:
•Promising junior and midcareer scholars (typically post-docs and assistant or associate professors)
•Distinguished senior scholars with an established record of scholarly excellence
•Accomplished policy makers, journalists, and other practioners whose knowledge and experience can link policy and scholarship
Degree Requirements:
Most successful applicants will hold a PhD or equivalent degree in a social science discipline or in history.
•In exceptional cases, the Institute will support applicants with a PhD or its equivalent in other disciplines
•The Institute welcomes applications from eminent scholars and practioners who do not hold a PhD
•Advanced ABD graduate students may apply, but awards are contingent on their having completed the PhD before beginning the fellowship
Eligibility Considerations (for non-US citizens/residents)
The following should be considered when applying for a Kellogg Institute fellowship:
•Advanced English language proficiency is required
•Foreign nationals must have a valid passport and be able to obtain a J-1 Visa
According to US immigration regulations, an individual who completes a period of stay of less than five years as a J-1 professor or research scholar and does not have another appointment immediately following the termination of said stay, cannot return to the US as a J-1 professor or research scholar until the individual has been outside the US for a minimum period of two years. This two-year bar is different from the two-year home residency requirement normally issued to J-1 scholars.
Kellogg Institute Visiting Fellowships are highly selective, with the majority awarded through our annual competition. The Institute may consider applications from distinguished senior scholars and practitioners on a rolling basis outside the competition.
Fellowship Terms:
Fellowships are offered for the academic year (August to May) or the fall (August to December) or spring semesters (January to May). Two-year postdoctoral visiting fellowships may be offered to one or two applicants per year.
Deadline: Complete applications must be received by Thursday, November 1, 2012.
