The O’Neill Institute Fellowship Program is designed to support young scholars, researchers, future practitioners and policymakers pursuing various forms of health law-related research. O’Neill Institute Fellows are essential to furthering our mission of discovering innovative solutions for the world’s most pressing health concerns. Law Fellows are based at Georgetown University Law Center, and Post-Doctoral Fellows are based at the School of Nursing and Health Studies.
Law Fellows have a J.D. degree, or equivalent, and exceptional academic credentials, which may include publications, strong research interests, and knowledge or experience in aspects of national or global health law and ethics, such as public health, empirical studies, regulation, financing, and/or human rights. Law Fellows split their time between policy projects, faculty research and writing projects, and independent academic and policy projects. Policy projects include preparation of white papers, organization of research colloquia and expert meetings, coordination of interdisciplinary research teams, and grant writing. Academic projects involve working closely with faculty to produce scholarly works for publication. In some cases, this work will result in joint publication. Independent academic and/or policy projects are self-motivated with mentoring from O’Neill Institute-affiliated faculty, if desired. Allocation of time is determined in part by Institute needs and in part by Fellow preferences. Law fellowships are for 1 or 2 years. Applications for Law Fellows are accepted annually.
The application period for the 2010-2011 class of Law Fellows is currently closed.
Post-Doctoral Fellows have a PhD, or equivalent, and outstanding scholarly credentials. They work with O’Neill Institute-affiliated NHS faculty on independent research and scholarship in a variety of health studies disciplines, which include emergency preparedness, food safety, global health governance, and indigenous genomics. Fellows who are already active in the desired field are preferred. Post-Doctoral Fellows are initially hired for period of 18 months with the possibility of renewal, given funding.
The application period for Post-Doctoral Fellows is currently closed.
