Overview
The Petrie-Flom Center is an interdisciplinary research program at Harvard
Law School dedicated to scholarly research at the intersection of law and health policy, including issues of health care financing and market regulation, biomedical research and bioethics. The Academic Fellowship is a postdoctoral program specifically designed to identify, cultivate and promote promising scholars early in their careers. Academic Fellows are selected from among recent graduates, young academics and mid-career practitioners who are committed to spending two years at the Center pursuing publishable research that is likely to make a significant contribution to the field of health law policy, medical innovation policy or bioethics. More information on the Center can be found at http://www.law.harvard.edu/programs/petrie-flom/.
Program
Petrie-Flom fellowships are full-time, two-year residential fellowships starting in the fall of 2010. Fellows devote their full time to scholarly activities in furtherance of their own research proposals. No teaching obligations or opportunities are associated with this fellowship. In addition to pursuing their research and writing, fellows are expected to attend and participate in research workshops on health law and policy and other events designated by the Center, and to present their research in at least one of a variety of forums, including academic seminars, speaker panels, or conferences. They also are expected to provide opportunities for interested students to consult with them about their areas of research and to help with the Center’s programming.
Stipends and Benefits
Fellows have access to the full range of resources offered by Harvard University. Each fellow is provided with a private office, library privileges, appointment fees, health benefits, a research budget, and a stipend of $60,000 per full year.
Eligbility
Applicants must hold an advanced degree in a discipline that they intend to apply to issues relating to health law policy, biomedical research or bioethics. The Center particularly encourages applications from those who intend to pursue careers as law professors (former fellows have taken up positions at Harvard, Berkeley, and Boston University’s law schools), but will consider any applicant who demonstrates an interest and ability to produce outstanding scholarship concerning health policy during the term of the fellowship. Applicants will be evaluated by the quality and probable significance of their research proposals, and by their record of academic and professional achievement.
Application
Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis starting September 1, 2009. Completed applications must be received at petrie-flom@law.harvard.edu by 5:00 p.m. on November 13, 2009 Please note that ALL application materials must be submitted electronically, and should include:
1. Curriculum Vitae.
2. PDFs of all transcripts from college and any graduate schools attended.
3. Research Proposal. No more than 2,000 words describing the applicant’s area of research and writing plans. Research proposals should focus less on describing an interesting topic than on demonstrating that the applicant has an interesting, original idea about the topic that seems sufficiently promising to develop further.
4. A writing sample that demonstrates the applicant’s writing and analytical abilities and ability to generate interesting, original ideas. This can be a draft rather than a publication.
Applicants who already have publications may also submit PDF copies of up to two additional published writings.
5. Three letters of recommendation, emailed directly from the recommender. Letter writers should be asked to comment not only on the applicant’s writing and analytical ability, but on their ability to generate new ideas and their commitment to pursue that intellectual enterprise in this area. To the extent feasible, letter writers should provide not just qualitative assessments but also ordinal rankings. For example, rather than just saying a candidate is “great,” it would be useful to have a statement about whether the candidate is (the greatest, in the top three, among the top 10%, etc) among some defined set of persons (students they have had, people they have worked with, etc.).
Applications, transcripts should be e-mailed by the applicant to:
petrie-flom@law.harvard.edu
Letters of Recommendation should be emailed directly from the recommender to
the same address.
