IPDS Non-Resident Research Fellowship 2026

The IPDS Non-Resident Research Fellowship is a four-month, fully remote research opportunity offered by the Institute of Peace and Diplomatic Studies (IPDS). It targets researchers who seek to translate academic work into policy-relevant analysis, enabling participation from researchers worldwide. Fellows develop policy-oriented research within an IPDS centre, publish work under the institute’s name, and receive editorial guidance from the IPDS Research Desk.

Publication of a policy paper and two commentaries; formal fellowship title (Non-Resident Research Fellow), a profile on the IPDS website, a certificate of fellowship, and a completion letter.

Open to researchers who have completed an MPhil, MS or equivalent research master's, current PhD enrolment, or a completed doctorate; also require a record of published writing and ability to commit 8–10 hours per week.

Submit documents including CV, writing sample, proof of degree or enrolment, and a 500–800-word research proposal outlining the plan with a chosen IPDS centre.
