Columbia Law School is seeking candidates for its Academic Fellows program, a program created to support future legal academics. Candidates must have the strongest academic credentials and show substantial promise of becoming outstanding legal scholars.
Columbia Law School Academic Fellows will have the opportunity to spend one to two years in residence at Columbia Law School where they will pursue their scholarly agendas and participate in the Law School’s intellectual life.
Academic Fellows are expected to produce a serious work of scholarship that will position them to enter the job market for a full-time academic appointment at a major law school.
Columbia Law School Academic Fellows will receive a stipend, anticipated to be around $60,000, as well as fringe benefits, including eligibility for subsidized housing, and space to work at the law school. Typically, between one and three Fellows are selected each year.
Applicants must apply online. Hardcopy applications will not be accepted. The deadline for applications is February 15, 2012.
Note: Candidates must contact their academic references to request that letters be provided.
