The Jack W. Peltason Center for the Study of Democracy hosts a Visiting Fellows program
for scholars who are engaged in research on the democratic process. Each year we are
joined by three to four scholars per quarter, most coming from outside the United
States. These Research Fellows participate in the research and educational activities
of the Center, with junior research scholars given the opportunity to audit courses
taught by CSD faculty. All Research Fellows are given office space and access to
the UCI library and computer support network and are invited to all of CSD's many
research events. And we offer assistance in finding housing. Visitor stays normally
range from one month to one year, with the mode being three months. Unfortunately,
direct funding for visitors is not available, so all funding for living costs must
be provided by the home university or home country.
If you are interested in being considered for selection as a CSD Visiting Research Fellow at the University of California, Irvine, you must apply six months to two years in advance --the further in advance you apply the more likely you are to be chosen, since facilities to host visitors are limited. Applications should be sent to the Center Administrator, Ekua Arhin, earhin@uci.edu. Applications should indicate how you plan to spend your time at UCI and also indicate the source of funding for your stay. Pre-doctoral, junior, and senior scholars are eligible. Fluency in English is a requirement.
To become a CSD Research Fellow you must be sponsored by one or more of the more than
forty members of CSD. Thus, it is highly desirable that you contact in advance CSD
faculty who might be willing to serve as your sponsor.
