The Joseph H. Flom Global Health and Human Rights Initiative at Harvard Law School is a new partnership between HRP and the Petrie-Flom
Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology and Bioethics. The Initiative will promote academic research, as well as engagement in practical
measures related to that research, for the purpose of bringing a legal perspective to bear on the development and application of global public
health and human rights norms.
The Initiative is no longer accepting applications for its Global Health and Human Rights Fellowship, starting in August 2007. The application
deadline was December 15, 2006. Please continue to check back for 2008 deadline information.
The Global Health Fellowship is a full-time, residential fellowship for up to two full years starting in August 2007. Global health fellows
will have offices at either the Petrie-Flom Center or the Human Rights Program, and will participate in the intellectual life of both programs.
The role of the fellow will be to lead research or clinical projects on global health and human rights and may involve the supervision of Harvard
Law School students on these projects. The work product of fellow-led projects can range from scholarly papers, manuscripts and monographs to direct
involvement in policy or legal activities. The presence of the fellow will provide the support and continuity necessary for the Initiative to undertake
complex, long-term projects.
Other responsibilities of the fellow may include the design and planning of an annual conference. Apart from overseeing student work, no other
teaching responsibilities or opportunities are associated with this fellowship. The fellow will determine the scope and detail of his or her work
in consultation with the directors of the Human Rights Program and Petrie-Flom Center.
