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 a full academic year. Applications are open for the Kroc Institute Visiting Research Fellows Program 2026-2027.
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, they invite research proposals that focus on one or more of the following themes:
- Intersection of Gender, Race, Class and Peacebuilding: They are interested in interdisciplinary approaches and qualitative, participatory, and/or feminist methodologies. Thematically, they are interested in questions of intersectionality in relation to identity, power, representation, and direct and structural violence.
- International Mediation: They are interested in international mediation, preventive diplomacy, and national dialogue as strategies for preventing and ending high intensity conflict.
- Peace Accords Matrix (PAM): They are interested in the design and implementation of peace accords, with special attention to inclusive peace processes that involve civil society, transitional justice, and country contexts currently negotiating or implementing a peace accord.
- Sustainability, Climate Change, and Peace: They are interested in innovative, interdisciplinary approaches that explore the relationship between peace and sustainability, and/or environmental peacebuilding in vulnerable regions, with focus areas including but not limited to illegal mining, deforestation, food security, and livelihoods. The fellow will have an opportunity to interact with the broader cohort of sustainability fellows spearheaded by Notre Dame's Just Transformations to Sustainability Initiative.
