Conflict Research Fellowship (CRF)

The Conflict Research Fellowship (CRF) offers yearlong support for experienced scholars, based at a University or NGO, to investigate the drivers of violent conflict in five cases: Somalia, South Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Iraq, and Syria. The program focuses on ways in which the political economy of public authority helps to explain the persistence and spread of violence. Successful candidates will contribute to the overall analysis of conflict through case studies of external interventions in: civil society support, security and justice sector reform, strengthening public authority and legitimacy, and resource management.
