Law Fellows, Georgetown Law
O'Neill Law Fellows – 2011-2012.
APPLICATION DEADLINE: CLOSED
The O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law is seeking exceptionally qualified candidates to serve as O’Neill Institute Law Fellows. The Institute integrates its academic mission with research to provide innovative legal solutions for pressing health problems in the United States and globally—from infectious and chronic diseases to health care financing and health systems. The Institute is structured as a partnership between Georgetown University Law Center and the School of Nursing and Health Studies, and also draws upon the University’s intellectual resources in the School of Medicine, the Public Policy Institute, and the Kennedy Institute of Ethics.
Fellows are based at the Law Center and report to the O’Neill Institute Faculty Director and Deputy Director. Fellows work on policy projects and/or academic research projects. Policy projects include preparation of white papers, organization of research colloquia, expert meetings, coordination of interdisciplinary research teams, and grant writing. Academic projects involve working closely with faculty to produce scholarly works for publication. In some cases, this work will result in joint publication. Independent academic and/or policy projects are self-motivated with mentoring from O’Neill Institute affiliated faculty if desired. Allocation of time is determined in part by O’Neill Institute needs and in part by fellow preferences. Fellowships will be for 1 year with possible extension to two years and will start in September 2011. Salary will be $66,000 with outstanding benefits.
Candidates should have a J.D. degree (or the equivalent), exceptional academic credentials, including publications, and research interests in health law related areas such as public health law, global health law, domestic health care law, empirical studies, regulatory impacts of health law, and/or health and human rights. Successful candidates will have knowledge and/or experience in aspects of national or global health law and ethics. A post-graduate degree (MPH, LL.M.), health degree or significant work experience may be preferred. In exceptional cases, candidates without a J.D. may be considered.
Application should be made by letter or email, and must include: CV, cover letter, writing sample, professional references, official law school transcript, and other graduate school transcripts (if applicable). Application by letter should be directed to: The O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law, Georgetown University Law Center, 600 New Jersey Ave, NW, Washington, DC, 20001. Application by email applications should be submitted to oneillinstitute@law.georgetown.edu.
