Global Visitors Program
Global & Senior Global Research Fellows
Global Research Fellows are post-doctoral or tenured academics with a record of strong legal scholarship. More senior academics (for example, faculty members tenured for 10 years or more) at the discretion of the selection committee may be designated as Senior Global Research Fellows.
Each year one applicant who performs research in comparative constitutional law, comparative civil procedure, Access to Justice, the sociology of law or European integration may, at the discretion of the selection committee, be named the Mauro Cappelletti Global Fellow in Comparative Law. Additionally, those interested in research and publication in an area related to Jewish law and/or the interaction between Jewish and American law may wish to apply to be appointed as the Gruss Scholar in Residence; those interested in the broader topic of Jewish learning and civilization may be interested in the Berkowitz Fellowship. Finally, New York University is affiliated with the Scholars at Risk Network; those applications that are selected by the Network to attend NYU in this capacity and predominantly involve research on law and/or legal issues will be forwarded to the Global Visitors Program's selection committee for consideration as Global Research Fellows.
The Hauser Global Law School Program invites approximately 10 Global & Senior Global Research Fellows each academic year to contribute to the Global Visitors Program. The Global & Senior Global Research Fellows are actively integrated into the Law School community through various academic and social programs, including the Global Fellows Forum where they are required to present their research. Additionally, they will be treated as much like members of the NYU School of Law Faculty as possible for the duration of their residency. By the conclusion of their year at the Law School, all Global & Senior Global Research Fellows will have produced a major piece of scholarly work to be considered for inclusion in the Global Law Working Paper Series, and a report on their experience in the Global Visitors Program.
Benefits of Participation
Participating in the Global Visitors Program as a Global or Senior Global Research Fellow will include the following benefits:
Housing Stipend & Provisions
Depending on their personal financial situation, Global Visitors may be awarded a housing stipend to help cover the cost of living in New York City during the appointment period. In order to assist Visitors in finding affordable housing in New York City, we negotiated an agreement with a local real estate agent to assist you with the apartment search. More information will be provided following admission to the program.
Additional Information & Application Instructions
The invitation to join the Law School in either of these positions is also an invitation to a life-long relationship with the Hauser Global Law School Program, one that will continue to foster excellence in legal scholarship. If you are interested in applying to the Global Visitors Program as either a Global or Senior Global Research Fellow, please view the information for interested candidates.
