The Institute for Qualitative and Multi-Method Research (IQMR) is a two-week training program held annually at Syracuse University. Led each June by approximately 30 methodologists from U.S. and international institutions, IQMR promotes the teaching and application of a diverse set of advanced qualitative research methods and their combination with complementary analytic techniques in the social sciences. 

IQMR’s “New Voices Initiative” aims to identify, encourage, and support early career researchers (ECRs) who are interested in teaching at IQMR. Each year, we select through a competitive process two “New Voices Teaching Fellows” who then join one of the Institute’s teaching teams the following summer. Fellows receive an honorarium, and their round trip economy class domestic air travel, lodging in Syracuse, and a per diem for the duration of their stay are covered by the Institute.

The 2025 application deadline is Friday, January 31.
