She is also a Research Fellow at The Royal Swedish Academy of Letters, History and Antiquities and a Wallenberg Academy Fellow since 2019.
Dr. Fjelde's research primarily focuses on:
- The relationship between political institutions and armed conflict
- The causes and consequences of electoral violence
- The impact of violence and contentious politics on democratic institutions

- How contentious politics influence transitions to and away from democracy
Her recent scholarly work demonstrates a consistent focus on electoral violence, peacekeeping effectiveness, and the institutional dimensions of political conflict. Through both qualitative and quantitative approaches, Fjelde has made significant contributions to understanding how political institutions can mitigate or exacerbate violence, particularly in electoral contexts across Africa and South Asia. Her research often features innovative dataset development, including the Deadly Electoral Conflict Dataset (DECO) and the Ethnic One-Sided Violence Dataset.
Dr. Fjelde has received notable recognition for her work, including:
- Research Fellow at The Royal Swedish Academy of Letters, History and Antiquities
- Wallenberg Academy Fellowship (2019)
Her research has secured significant funding through her Wallenberg Academy Fellowship which has supported her work on political institutions and violence since 2019. While specific details about her advisees are not publicly available, her extensive publication record suggests active mentorship of graduate students in peace and conflict research. Her work has been widely cited in academic literature and referenced in policy documents.
Dr. Fjelde maintains multiple research affiliations, including a research associate position with the University of Oslo and participation in major data collection projects. Her work bridges academic research with practical applications for conflict prevention and peacebuilding, with several publications receiving attention from policy makers and practitioners in the field of international peace and security.
