- Kroc Institute Visiting Fellowship, Peace Studies 2009-2010
The Kroc Institute Visiting Research Fellows Program seeks to bring outstanding researchers focused on peace research to the University of Notre Dame for all or part of the 2009-10 academic year. Fellows conduct research and work on their research projects while fully participating in the life of the Institute; explore collaborations with other researchers in their area; interact informally with Kroc Institute faculty, staff, and faculty fellows in the broader Notre Dame community; and present a lecture about their research early in their residence. Junior fellows receive a stipend of up to $20,000 per semester; senior fellows receive up to $25,000 per semester. Housing is provided in furnished Institute apartments at no cost. Fellows have office space, library and internet access, and document retrieval services. Publications that result from research or writing conducted at the Kroc Institute should acknowledge the Visiting Research Fellows Program. The selected fellows are expected to collaborate with the Institute's permanent faculty and research staff on research related to an existing Institute emphasis.
Accordingly, applicants must apply for a fellowship in one of these four substantive areas: (1) The practice and theory of peacebuilding (local, regional, and global), including the origins of armed conflict as they relate to peacebuilding; (2) The role of global norms, networks, and institutions in the prevention of armed conflict (including projects on economic sanctions, ethics and the use of force, humanitarian intervention, and globalization, social change, and social movements); (3) The comparative study of peace processes; and (4) The role of religion (especially Christian-Muslim relations) in conflict and peacebuilding. A complete application consists of the two-page application form HERE ; a curriculum vitae; a research proposal (maximum ten pages) that concisely describes the research project, including the sources and data that will be used and the analysis that will be performed, and that clearly identifies the link between the proposed research and the existing area of emphasis at the Institute; a bibliography; and two letters of recommendation.
Selection criteria include evidence of academic excellence, clarity of the link to existing research emphases, and anticipation of lively participation in the intellectual life of the Institute. Applications for residence in 2009-2010 must be postmarked by November 15, 2008. Only applicants at the post-doctoral (junior) and senior scholar level will be considered. Fellowships begin at the start of the University of Notre Dame's semester and can be made for one semester or an academic year. Results will be announced by February 1, 2009.
