Visiting Scholars

The Center for Research on International and Global Studies (RIGS) invites applications from US and foreign scholars for the RIGS Visiting Scholars Program. Senior scholars, post-doctoral scholars, and students working on their dissertations focused on international and global issues from political science, history, economics, sociology, and anthropology, among others, are eligible to apply.

Applicants should have funding from a fellowship or a university sabbatical. Scholars may be in residence at RIGS or one of its affiliated Centers such as the Center for Global Peace and Conflict Studies, for a period from one month to one year. Visiting scholars will have office space and library privileges and will be encouraged to participate in events at RIGS and its affiliated Centers and to make a presentation on their work while at UCI.

Interested scholars should send their CV, a 2-page description of their research project (including why a residency at UCI would be beneficial) and the proposed dates of residency to mroesler@uci.edu. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year.
