- Conflict Prevention and Sustaining Peace, including research on improving the effectiveness of UN peace operations, transitional justice, demobilization, disarmament and Reintegration, and women in peace and security.

No compensation is paid to Visiting Fellows but the position offers an opportunity to collaborate with a leading UN think-tank on global public-policy challenges.
