KERNOCHAN CENTER FELLOWSHIP
The Kernochan Center Fellowship supports future legal academics interested in the field of copyright and authors’ rights. Fellows will have the opportunity to spend one to two years in residence at Columbia Law School, working on their own research and on Kernochan Center projects. It is expected that fellows will produce an independent work of scholarship that will position them to enter the job market for full-time academic employment.
Fellows will receive a stipend of approximately $50,000 plus benefits, eligibility for subsidized housing, and space to work at the law school. In the event that subsidized housing is unavailable, fellows will receive an allowance of $10,000 to help defray the cost of housing.
The fellowship will commence in September 2009. Applicants should be 2-5 years out of law school and planning a career in academia. To apply, please send a cover letter, resume, writing sample, proposal for scholarly research (5-8 pages), two letters of recommendation, law school transcript and a list of additional references by April 30, 2009 to:
