Hauser Research Scholars
The Hauser Global Law School Program at New York University School of Law is pleased to announce scholarship opportunities for junior academics who wish to spend a year in residence at the Law School engaging in research and producing a significant piece of original, publishable scholarship. Application for the 2010-11 academic year will be available in the fall.
The primary mission of the Hauser Research Scholars Program is to facilitate the production of original, publishable legal scholarship by academics at the beginning of their university careers. Our aim is to provide funding and support to such people so that they can dedicate themselves in an academic environment towards completing a significant scholarly project. The Hauser Global Law School Program plans to integrate the scholarly projects of Hauser Research Scholars with the work of colloquia, centers and seminars which are at the core of the intellectual life of the Law School.
