The Stanford Center for Law and the Biosciences

invites applications for

2007/08 FELLOWSHIPS

in the study of

LAW AND THE BIOSCIENCES
Applicants who are seriously interested in legal issues surrounding new discoveries in the biosciences are encouraged to apply for our CLB Fellowship Program.  Fellows attend seminars featuring nationally recognized experts, are eligible for research funding, and enjoy a collegial interdisciplinary environment designed to help further their research and expand their thinking.  Fellows will be expected to assist in the Center's activities; they may also have an opportunity to teach.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: May 1, 2007
Notification of selection will be not later than June 9, 2007.

Applicants should submit a brief letter (3-5 pages) that describes their interest in legal issues surrounding the biosciences, sets out their background, and outlines the project they propose to pursue under the fellowship program.  The Center is very broadly interested in the intersection between law and the biosciences:  genetics, neuroscience, development, evolution, environmental issues, or even nanotechnology are among the scientific fields that would be relevant.  The letter should identify the objectives of the proposed project and the nature of the research and analysis to be done, but it need not layout a detailed research plan.  The project may be related to research already under way, or it may be separate from other work.  Please identify any existing faculty advisors or sponsors associated with the research project or proposed advisors or sponsors at Stanford Law School or more broadly at Stanford University.  A resume and a list of references that we may contact should accompany the letter.

Application packages must be emailed as an attachment to Ms. Angela Lawton (alawton@stanford.edu) by midnight on Monday, May 1, 2007
