Application Deadline: October 1, 2024

LOCATION: USA

The Kellogg Institute for International Studies has offered visiting fellowships to promote interdisciplinary international research in a supportive community of scholars. The Institute offers time to pursue scholarly development, advance your research portfolio, and develop your skills as you prepare to enter the academic job market. 

ELIGIBILITY:

They invite applications from scholars who conduct international research on the themes of global democracy and/or human development. Applicants may come from any country and must have recently earned a PhD within the last five years.

Most successful applicants will work in a social science discipline or in history. Advanced ABD graduate students may apply, but awards are contingent on their having completed the PhD before June 30 of the starting fellowship year.

For non-US citizens and residents, please consider: 

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.
