NYU Fellowships in Entrepreneurship, Social Entrepreneurship, and Innovation
New York University School of Law has openings for fellowships in the areas of entrepreneurship, social entrepreneurship, and innovation for the 2012-2013 academic year. The purpose of these fellowships is to promote research and curriculum development in subjects related to legal issues in these areas. Fellowships are open to third year law students and recent law school graduates with the strongest credentials and the most exciting ideas that have the potential to impact the areas of entrepreneurship, social entrepreneurship, and innovation.
These fellowships are administered by NYU School of Law under the auspices of the Jacobson Leadership Program in Law and Business. Fellows are expected to produce a substantial piece of work during their time at the Law School. A proposed plan for the Fellowship year – specifying the need for the project, goals to be met by the project, how the goals will further the field, and a timeline – will provide the basis for applications. Fellows will work on their project and participate in activities of the Jacobson Leadership Program and other faculty workshops and colloquia.
The Fellows will benefit from the mentorship of Jacobson Leadership Program Faculty Directors Helen S. Scott, Professor of Law, and Gerald Rosenfeld, Adjunct Professor of Law, Clinical Professor of Business at NYU Stern and Deputy Chairman of Rothschild North America. Fellows receive a stipend, anticipated to be approximately $50,000 for the coming academic year, as well as health insurance and a space to work in the Law School.
The application deadline for these Fellowships is February 29, 2012. Fellowships will last for one year, from September 2012 through August 2013. Applications should include: a short statement describing prior experiences that demonstrate applicant’s interest in their area of fellowship interest, and aspirations for future work in this area, as well as the Project proposal and plan. Applications should also include: curriculum vitae; law school transcript; copies of any publications; two letters of recommendation from individuals familiar with the candidate’s academic or professional qualifications.
