We have the following
call for applications:
Baldy Fellowships in Interdisciplinary Legal Studies 2017
The Baldy Center for Law & Social Policy at the State University
of New York at Buffalo plans to award several fellowships for 2017-18 to
scholars pursuing important topics in law, legal institutions, and
social policy. Applications are invited from junior and senior scholars
from law, the humanities, and the social sciences.
Fellows are expected to participate regularly in Baldy Center
events, but otherwise have no obligations beyond vigorously pursuing
their research. Fellows receive standard university research privileges
(access to university libraries, high-speed Internet, office space,
computer equipment, phone, website space, working paper series, etc.)
and are encouraged to develop collaborative research projects with SUNY
Buffalo faculty members where appropriate. Those who wish to teach a
course to aid their research or gain teaching experience can be
accommodated on a case-by-case basis.
Post-Doctoral Fellowships are available to individuals who
have completed the PhD or JD but have not yet begun a tenure track
appointment. Post-Doctoral Fellows will receive a stipend of $40,000 and
may apply for up to $2000 in professional travel support.
Post-doctoral Fellowships will ordinarily be for a period of two years.
Mid-Career and Senior Fellowships are available to
established scholars who wish to work at the Center, typically during a
sabbatical or research leave. Awardees will receive a living expense
allowance of $1,500 per month during the period of their residence.
Application materials include:
(1) a description of the planned research (question, conceptual framework, method, possible findings, importance to the field),
(2) a complete academic and professional resume,
(3) an academic writing sample,
(4) the names and contact information of three academic references (no letters yet), and
(5) if a mid-career or senior applicant, the time period during
which the applicant would work at the Center. Completed applications are
due no later than January 17, 2017. (Apply by clicking the button
below). For further information, see our answers to frequently asked questions. Additional questions about the Baldy Fellows Program should be addressed to Gloria Paveljack, gep@buffalo.edu or (716) 645-2102.
Primary criteria for selection include intellectual strength of the
proposal, demonstrated academic achievement, and promise of future
success. Additional considerations include the overall mix of topics,
disciplines, and backgrounds of the selected group of fellows.
