HLS in Focus

I saw this in my inbox this morning and thought it was worth a mention here. You may have listened to my earlier interview with Einer Elhauge, the faculty director of the Petrie-Flom Center. He promised a lot of new and intresting initiatives. Here is one of them:

“The Joseph H. Flom Global Health and Human Rights Initiative is a new partnership between Harvard Law School’s Human Rights Program and the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics. Its mission is to promote academic research as well as engagement in practical measures to develop and apply global public health and human rights norms.

“The initiative is offering a post-graduate fellowship starting in September 2006. The role of the fellow will be to lead research or clinical projects on global health and human rights. This is a one- or two-year full-time residential fellowship paying an annual stipend of up to $60,000 plus benefits. Applicants should have background and expertise in the field of global health and human rights, and must hold a degree in law.

“Detailed information about the fellowship and how to apply is available at this link. Applications are due no later than June 16, 2006.”

I suspect HLS grads would have an inside track on such a fellowship…
