Each year, the Kroc Institute’s Visiting Research Fellows Program brings outstanding scholars focused on peace research to the University of Notre Dame for a semester or full academic year.

Fellowships are offered to scholars with substantial research experience who will connect their research to ongoing Kroc Institute research initiatives. For the 2026-27 academic year, research proposals that focus on one or more of the following themes are invited-

• Intersection of Gender, Race, Class and Peacebuilding

• International Mediation

• Peace Accords Matrix (PAM)

• Sustainability, Climate Change, and Peace

Qualifications:

Applicants must have completed a doctoral, or equivalent, degree. If you are currently enrolled in a Ph.D. program, you must have completed your doctoral degree before the beginning of the fellowship. If you have previously been a Kroc Visiting Research Fellow, please wait seven years before applying again.

Benefits:

Fellowships begin at the start of the University of Notre Dame's semester (August or January) and can run for one semester or an academic year, depending on the applicant's preference and available funding. Visiting fellows will receive a stipend of $30,000 per semester. Housing is provided in furnished Institute apartments at no cost. Fellows have library and internet access and document retrieval services.
