Naughton Fellowship Committee Chair and Rev. John A. Zahm Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Brian Baker, encourages all interested students to apply. He said, “The Fellowship’s founder, Dr. Martin Naughton, believed the study of new sciences and technologies is essential to the prosperity of society. I encourage all students who are interested in helping society to grow and prosper – to truly become a force for good in the world – to apply for the Naughton Fellowships today.”
The Naughton Fellowships allow students with a background in, or aptitude for, STEM fields to experience international research and educational opportunities through a funded exchange program involving the University of Notre Dame and some of Ireland’s leading research universities. Irish undergraduates, master’s students, and Ph.D. candidates can come to Notre Dame on the fellowship, while Notre Dame undergraduates, master’s students, and Ph.D. candidates can travel to Ireland to study and complete research.
