Description

The ISP Resident Fellowship is designed for recent graduates of law or Ph.D. programs interested in an academic career and whose research is related to any of the ISP research areas. ISP research areas include: Access to Knowledge; Algorithmic Decisionmaking & Artificial Intelligence; Art Law, Entertainment Law & Media Law; Big Data & Data Policy; Civil Rights, Civil Liberties & Human Rights; Computer Science; Corporate Law & Consumer Law; Cyberlaw & Cybersecurity; First Amendment & Freedom of Expression; Government Transparency & Government Accountability; Health Law, Medical Law & Bioethics; Intellectual Property; International Law & Comparative Law; Internet Governance; Media Studies, Journalism Studies & Communication Studies; National Security & Foreign Affairs; Platforms, Social Networks & Social Media; Privacy & Surveillance; Regulating Technology; Regulating Through Technology; Reproductive Rights & Reproductive Justice; Robotics; Tech Ethics & Social Consequences; Telecommunications; Visual Advocacy & Visual Evidence.

Applicants must have completed their J.D., Ph.D., or equivalent degree prior to the beginning of the fellowship. ISP Resident Fellows are expected to write at least two academic works per year, to attend all ISP events, be present in the ISP facilities three full days per week, and to contribute to ISP programming. Because they are expected to attend ISP events, ISP Resident fellows are strongly urged to reside in the New Haven area.

ISP-funded Resident Fellowships normally begin on July 1 and last for one year; fellows in residence may apply for a second year of support. Fellows receive a salary of USD $47,484 per year plus Yale benefits and a travel stipend. The ISP also provides office space for its Resident Fellows.

Applications should include the following:

-          A cover letter indicating your interest in the Resident Fellowship

-          A research agenda (5 pages max)

-          A resume or CV

-          A law/graduate school transcript

-          At least one scholarly writing sample, preferably in English

-          Two letters of recommendation

The ISP also offers self-funded Resident Fellowships for individuals with their own sources of funding—for example, winners of Fulbright or other fellowship awards. The application requirements are identical. Please indicate the sources of funding in your application.

Applications for ISP-funded Resident Fellowships must be postmarked no later than January 15, 2017. Applications for self-funded Resident Fellowships are accepted on a rolling basis.

Please submit applications in electronic form to Heather Branch.
