Description
The Ansari Institute for Global Engagement with Religion at the University of Notre Dame’s Keough School of Global Affairs invites applications for a one-year Postdoctoral Research Fellowship beginning in Fall 2027, with the possibility of renewal for a second year based on satisfactory performance and funding availability.
The Ansari Institute seeks a promising scholar whose research examines the role of religion in addressing the fragmentations that shape contemporary global affairs. The fellowship is part of the Institute’s emerging “integral repair” research agenda, which asks how religious traditions, communities, practices, and institutions contribute to—or complicate—efforts to repair the fragmentation of the human person, the relationship between humanity and the natural world, and polarization across political communities.
About
Applicants may work in any discipline or interdisciplinary field and may focus on any religious tradition, geographic region, or relevant comparative context. The position welcomes candidates who are knowledgeable of or interested in learning more about Catholic Social Doctrine. We are particularly interested in scholarship that engages one or more of three broad areas:
Religion and Integral Human Development: Questions of human dignity and flourishing, meaning and purpose, poverty and inequality, education, work, migration, technology and artificial intelligence, community and belonging, and the material and non-material dimensions of human development. A developing initiative in this area, Pedagogies of Muslim Humanities, seeks to bring Islamic theological and intellectual traditions into sustained conversation with the humanities, arts, sciences, and contemporary questions of human flourishing. Knowledge of or interest in Islamic intellectual traditions, Muslim education, the humanities, or related areas is welcome but not required.
Religion and Integral Ecology: The relationships among religion, ecology, climate, land, agriculture, sustainability, environmental justice, Indigenous knowledge, stewardship, reciprocity, and the moral and spiritual dimensions of humanity’s relationship with the natural world. Current work includes the Sowing Hope Research Platform and research connected to the Bethany Land Institute in Uganda, exploring how ecological restoration, regenerative agriculture, livelihoods, community, and spiritual formation can be understood together. Knowledge of or interest in religion and ecology, African contexts, sustainability, or related areas is welcome but not required.
Religion and Integral Politics: The role of religion in political and civic life, including democracy and authoritarianism, peacebuilding and reconciliation, nationalism, migration, diplomacy, religious freedom, political theology, multilateralism, social trust, and conceptions of the common good. A developing research initiative will examine the international politics and foreign policy of Pope Leo XIV, including Vatican diplomacy, the role of local churches and religious actors in international affairs, and the possibilities and limits of religious diplomacy and interreligious cooperation. Knowledge of or interest in the Holy See, religion and international relations, diplomacy, peacebuilding, or related areas is welcome but not required.
The Institute welcomes work that takes religious traditions seriously on their own terms while bringing them into conversation with the interdisciplinary study of global affairs. Particularly compelling projects will combine rigorous scholarship with attention to lived religious communities, institutions, practices, or public life and will contribute to Ansari’s larger inquiry into where and how the integral repair is taking place in a fragmented world.
Responsibilities
The appointment is designed primarily to provide the fellow with time and an intellectual community in which to advance their research to facilitate publication of the research through a manuscript or journal articles. The fellow will also be expected to support the implementation of a signature research project in one of the three broad areas outlined above; contribute, as appropriate, to public-facing activities related to the Institute’s research agenda; participate actively in the intellectual life of the Ansari Institute, its Contending Modernities research initiative, and the Keough School; present work in Institute seminars and workshops; engage with Ansari faculty, Faculty Fellows, visiting scholars, and students; and develop connections with University-wide initiatives such as the Global Catholic Research Initiative, Just Transformations to Sustainability, the Notre Dame Democracy Initiative, and other relevant academic units.
Qualifications
Applicants must have received a PhD or equivalent terminal degree by the start of the appointment. Scholars from the humanities and social sciences in relevant disciplines are encouraged to apply.
This is a full-time, in-person position with benefits, based at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana. The salary range is $63,480 - $75,000, commensurate to experience. The start date is August 16, 2027. The deadline to apply is March 31, 2027. The position will remain open until filled. Inquiries about the position may be sent to [email protected].
Applicants should submit the following items through Notre Dame’s HR portal:
The Ansari Institute for Global Engagement with Religion is dedicated to the study of religion as a consequential dimension of global affairs. Through research, education, public engagement, and sustained encounter across religious and disciplinary boundaries, the Institute seeks to understand religion in its complexity and to explore the resources religious traditions and communities bring to the pursuit of human dignity, integral ecology, and the common good.
