The Kellogg Institute is an interdisciplinary research institute for international studies at the University of Notre Dame. Regionally, the Institute has focused mostly on Latin America, but it is committed to advancing research on important thematic issues in comparative international studies regardless of region. The Institute’s research reflects commitments to democracy, development, and social justice, and focuses on five priority themes: democratization and the quality of democracy; paths to development; religion and the Catholic Church; social movements and organized civil society; and public policies for social justice.

For the 2001 - 02 academic year (August - May), the Institute will offer up to eight residential fellowships of one or two semesters at the University of Notre Dame. Normally the awards are for one semester, but exceptions will be considered.

Visiting Fellows have faculty status within the University. They may hold joint appointments in academic departments for which they may be invited to teach a course.

The Institute seeks scholars whose work and presence will contribute creatively to its major research themes. It welcomes applications from candidates of any country who hold a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in any discipline of the social sciences or history.
