Fellowships - please share with your students and others

From our colleagues at Harvard Law School come these two job postings - please share with anyone potentially interested:

Qualcomm Postdoctoral Fellowship in Private Law and Intellectual Property

Located at Harvard Law School, the Qualcomm Fellowship is a two-year, residential postdoctoral program specifically designed to identify, cultivate, and promote promising scholars early in their careers with a primary interest in intellectual property and its connection to one or more of property, contracts, torts, commercial law, unjust enrichment, restitution, equity, and remedies. Fellows have been selected from among recent graduates, young academics, and mid-career practitioners who are committed to pursuing publishable research likely to make a significant contribution to private law scholarship.

Fellows devote their full time to scholarly activities in furtherance of their individual research agendas. In addition, fellows contribute to the intellectual life of the Project and the Harvard Law School community through mentoring students, presenting their research in and attending faculty workshops and seminars, helping to organize and participating in Center events, and blogging.

In order to be eligible for the program, applicants must hold a J.D. or other graduate law degree. Applicants are required to submit a research proposal as well as a completed application by March 1, 2016. Selected fellows will gain access to a wide range of resources offered by Harvard University, including: office space, library access, a benefits package as well as an annual stipend.

Postdoctoral Fellowship in Private Law

Located at Harvard School of Law, the fellowship is a two-year, residential postdoctoral program specifically designed to identify, cultivate, and promote promising scholars early in their careers with a primary interest in private law. Private law embraces traditional common law subjects (property, contracts, and torts), as well as adjacent statutory areas such as intellectual property and commercial law. It also includes resurgent areas, such as unjust enrichment, restitution, equity, and remedies. Fellows have been selected from among recent graduates, young academics, and mid-career practitioners who are committed to pursuing publishable research likely to make a significant contribution to private law scholarship.

Fellows devote their full time to scholarly activities in furtherance of their individual research agendas. In addition, fellows contribute to the intellectual life of the Project and the Harvard Law School community through mentoring students, presenting their research in and attending faculty workshops and seminars, helping to organize and participating in Center events, and blogging.

In order to be eligible for the program, applicants must hold an advanced degree in law and must possess a demonstrated interest in private law and theory. Applicants are required to submit a research proposal as well as a completed application by March 1, 2016. Selected fellows will gain access to a wide range of resources offered by Harvard University, including: office space, library access, a benefits package as well as an annual stipend.
