CALL FOR APPLICATIONS: Petrie-Flom Academic Fellowships, 2014-2016
PURPOSE: The Academic Fellowship is a postdoctoral program specifically designed to identify, cultivate, and promote promising scholars early in their careers. Fellows are selected from among recent graduates, young academics, and mid-career practitioners who are committed to spending two years at the Center pursuing publishable research that is likely to make a significant contribution to the field of health law policy, medical innovation policy, or bioethics. For more information about current and past fellows, please visit the Fellowship Programs section of our website.
ELIGIBILITY: By the start of the fellowship term, applicants must hold an advanced degree in a discipline that they intend to apply to issues falling under the Center’s umbrella. The Center particularly encourages applications from those who intend to pursue careers as tenure-track law professors, but will consider any applicant who demonstrates an interest and ability to produce outstanding scholarship at the intersection of law and health policy, bioethics, or biotechnology during the term of the fellowship. Applicants will be evaluated by the quality and probable significance of their research proposals, and by their record of academic and professional achievement.
APPLICATION: Applications will be accepted from September 16, 2013 through November 18, 2013.
Calls for application to the Fellowship Program are released in late summer in the year preceding the appointment start date. The Call for Applications for 2014-2016 is now available. Review of applications will begin on November 18, 2013. Applications submitted before the final deadline will not be reviewed early. For further information, contact us by email.

Honoring Professor Hutt: Donate to the Petrie-Flom Center!
In January 2013, the Petrie-Flom Center celebrated Peter Barton Hutt's 20 years teaching at Harvard Law School, and in May 2013 we welcomed him as a plenary speaker at our Annual Conference.
Peter has worked at the Washington, DC law firm of Covington & Burling, specializing in Food and Drug Law, for more than five decades. He began his law practice with the firm in 1960 and is now Senior Counsel; from 1971-1975, he was Chief Counsel for the Food and Drug Administration. His course at HLS, which regularly achieves the highest ratings from students, covers all aspects of government regulation of food and drugs from ancient times to the present.
The Petrie-Flom Center plans to further honor Peter and his many contributions to HLS through the Center's student fellowship program, which provides a select group of Harvard graduate students with extensive mentorship to develop a piece of independent scholarship - exactly as Peter has supported so many students during his 20 years of teaching at Harvard Law School. Please consider helping us by making a gift to support Peter Barton Hutt Student Fellows at the Petrie-Flom Center.
When making a gift, please indicate it is in Professor Hutt's honor and is to support the Petrie-Flom Center. If you have questions on how to make a gift, please call 617-495-3114 or email alumrec@law.harvard.edu. News and Scholarship
