Description
Since 1983, the Kellogg
Institute for International Studies has offered visiting fellowships
to promote interdisciplinary international research in a supportive community
of scholars. This widely respected residential program offers time to pursue
scholarly inquiry, advance personal research, and collaborate with other
scholars and practitioners from across the US and around the globe. Visiting
fellows pursue research related to Kellogg Institute themes of democracy and
human development, share their research with the Notre Dame scholarly
community, and have the opportunity to publish in Kellogg’s peer-reviewed Working Paper Series.
While at the Kellogg Institute, fellows interact with leading
scholars one-on-one and through the Institute’s seminars and lectures,
international conferences, roundtable discussions on world affairs, and
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. Fellowships
are offered for the academic year (August to May) or the fall (August to
December) or spring semesters (January to May). In exceptional cases, two-year
postdoctoral visiting fellowships may be offered to one or two applicants per
year.
