University of Notre Dame  Notre Dame Institute for Advanced Study calls applications for Faculty Fellowships. The Notre Dame Institute for Advanced Study (NDIAS) promotes the issue-engaged, inclusive, and interdisciplinary study of questions that affect our ability to lead valuable, meaningful lives. Each year, the NDIAS convenes a diverse group of 10-15 Faculty Fellows to conduct research on projects related to its yearly research theme.

During the 2022-2023 academic year, the Notre Dame Institute for Advanced Study is sponsoring research projects that investigate the concept of The Public from many disciplines and applications. The project will bring together humanists, scientists, social scientists, legal scholars, and artists to examine how we organize individuals, political and scientific institutions, cultural resources, and informational structures into public, private, and expert domains.

Qualifications

• Faculty Fellowships at the University of Notre Dame are open to scholars, scientists, social scientists, and artists in all disciplines who are conducting research related to The Public.
• Faculty fellows typically have a faculty appointment at their home institution, but the fellowships are also open to independent researchers, public practitioners, postdoctoral scholars, and those who have recently received their Ph.D. (or equivalent terminal) degrees.
• Scholars from outside the U.S., researchers at national laboratories, fellows from other centers and institutes, as well as faculty from Notre Dame, are invited to apply. There are no citizenship requirements for these fellowships.
• Current graduate students are eligible to apply only if they will receive their terminal degree by August 1, 2022.

All NDIAS Fellows are expected to reside in the South Bend area and to remain in residence at the University of Notre Dame during the period of their fellowship (except for vacation periods, holidays, and University breaks). Some preference is given to those who can join the NDIAS for the entire academic year (August – May), but fellowships for shorter periods of time may be possible.

Benefits

Faculty Fellows receive half their salary per academic year (up to $75,000), subsidized housing (for those who currently reside outside of the South Bend area), a research allowance of up to $500 per semester, and a private office at the NDIAS. Fellows’ home institutions provide the remainder of their salaries as well as all benefits, including health insurance.
