KELLOGG INSTITUTE POSTDOCTORAL VISITING FELLOWSHIPS PROGRAM

Leave a comment

Application Deadline:  October 1, 2026

LOCATION: USA

The Kellogg Institute Postdoctoral Visiting Fellowships are awarded to newly minted PhDs who conduct research on global democracy. As members of the Institute’s vibrant Visiting Fellows cohort, Postdoctoral Fellows benefit from dedicated time and resources to advance their own research agendas, engage in scholarly development, and collaborate with distinguished faculty, scholars, and practitioners from the US and abroad.

ELIGIBILITY:

They invite applications from scholars conducting international research on themes related to global democracy. Applicants may come from any country and must have earned a PhD no more than three years prior to the start of the fellowship. (Please note: graduates of the University of Notre Dame PhD programs are not eligible to apply.)

The most competitive applicants will hold a PhD or equivalent degree in a social science discipline. In exceptional cases, the Institute will consider applicants with a PhD in other disciplines.

Eligibility Considerations (for non-US citizens/residents): For non-US citizens/residents, please consider the following: 

Advanced English language proficiency is required.

Foreign nationals must have a valid passport and 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 completion of said stay cannot return to the US in the J-1 Professor or J-1 Research Scholar category until the individual has been outside the US for a minimum period of 24 months. This 24-month bar is different from the two-year home residency requirement some scholars are subject to.

For program information, please contact Lupe Ramírez at gramirez@nd.edu
