Notre Dame - Kellogg Visiting Fellowships
University of Notre Dame, Kellogg Institute of International Studies
The Kellogg Visiting Fellowships are designed to provide you the time and space to work on research, while interacting with some of the country's leading scholars. Visiting Fellows submit their research to the Institute's Working Paper Series and are encouraged to contribute work to the Kellogg Institute's respected monograph series, published in conjunction with the University of Notre Dame Press. While there, numerous opportunities exist to explore the work of noted scholars through our Seminar and Lecture Series, international conferences, roundtable discussions on world affairs, and many cultural events.
* Most are semester long research fellowships
* A limited number of academic year fellowships with teaching opportunities are available
* In exceptional cases, the Institute might offer a two-year postdoctoral visiting fellowship, which would include teaching one course per year.
Eligibility Requirements
The Kellogg Institute seeks accomplished as well as promising scholars whose work and presence will contribute creatively to its major research themes.
* Applicants may come from any country
* 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 distinguished senior candidates 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
* A recently issued U.S. immigration regulation states that 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 U.S. as a J-1 professor or research scholar until the individual has been outside the U.S. for a minimum period of two years. This new two-year bar is different from the two-year home residency requirement normally issued to J-1 scholars.
Residency
Visiting Fellows are expected to be in residence during their tenure at Kellogg. Absences of more than a few days are discouraged and require the Director's permission. Residence requirements for Guest Scholars are generally more flexible but, since Kellogg apartments and office space are much in demand, guests who choose to occupy an office and/or apartment should also commit to remaining in residence at the Institute during that time.
Presentation
Visiting Fellows are expected to give at least one presentation of their current research in the Kellogg seminar and lecture series.
Publication
The Program expects Visiting Fellows to publish the results of research undertaken and / or completed during their stay. We ask that such publications contain an acknowledgment of Kellogg Institute support.
Working Papers
Kellogg has its own peer-reviewed Working Paper series to which Visiting Fellows must submit at least one paper for consideration, either during or shortly after their stay. The series is not copyrighted and is intended to speed dissemination of work-in-progress for use and feedback by other scholars. The research may then appear later in books or journals.
Application Process
The Kellogg Institute holds one competition per year. The application deadline is usually in November. A complete application consists of the original and seven copies of each of the following:
* Application form
* Curriculum vitae
* Three letters of recommendation (must be sent separately)
* A research project statement addressing the selection criteria (6 - 10 double spaced pages)
Selection Criteria
Fellowships are awarded on a competitive basis. A committee composed of Kellogg Institute Faculty Fellows evaluates the applications based on the following criteria:
* What is the problem being addressed? What is its interest and importance within and beyond the researcher's field?
* How does the study relate to the research themes of the Kellogg Institute?
* What is the quality of the research design, including basic hypotheses, research methodology, and the kinds of data or evidence the researcher is considering?
* Where does this particular project fit into the researcher's own intellectual and professional development?
* How much would the researcher be able to complete during his/her time at the Institute?
For non-US applicants only
All supporting documents may be submitted via email to lcanales@nd. edu - pdf is the preferred format. Letters of recommendation must be sent by the referees directly to the Kellogg Institute.
