Building on the success of our inaugural Baldy Fellows, I am pleased to
announce that the Baldy Center is inviting Fellowship applications for
2013-2014.

Baldy Fellowships in Interdisciplinary Legal Studies are available to
post-doctoral, mid-career, and senior scholars. This year’s application form
is at: http://baldycenter.info/fellowships2013 .
Completed applications are due February 1, 2013. It is important that all
applications be submitted through our web-based system, both so that we can
track all applications and so that our reviewers can readily access them.
Further information on the Fellowships and application process is provided
below and on the Baldy Center website:
law.buffalo.edu/baldycenter.

We are excited about our first group of Baldy Fellows — anthropologist
Mireille Abelin, historian Kathleen Biddick, constitutional theorist Nimer
Sultany, and sociologist Julia Tomassetti. You can read their biographies
on our website:
http://www.law.buffalo.edu/links/09-2012/baldy.html. We are eager to bring
an equally outstanding group of scholars to the Center next year.

Call for Applications

The Baldy Center for Law & Social Policy at the State University of New
York at Buffalo plans to award several fellowships for 2013-14 to scholars
pursuing important topics in law, legal institutions, and social policy.
Applications are invited from junior and senior scholars from law, the
humanities, and the social sciences.

Fellows are expected to participate regularly in Baldy Center events, but
otherwise have no obligations beyond vigorously pursuing their research.
Fellows receive standard university research privileges (access to UB
libraries, high-speed Internet, office space, computer equipment, phone,
website space, working paper series,
etc.) and are encouraged to develop collaborative research projects with
SUNY Buffalo faculty members where appropriate. Those who wish to teach a
course to aid their research or gain teaching experience will be
accommodated on a case-by-case basis.

Post-Doctoral Fellowships are available to individuals who have completed
the PhD or JD but have not yet begun a tenure track appointment.
Post-Doctoral Fellows will receive a stipend of $40,000 and may apply for
up to $2000 in professional travel support. Mid-Career and Senior
Fellowships are available as sabbatical supplements to established scholars
who wish to work at the Center.
Stipends will be commensurate with experience, need, and duration of
visit.

Application materials include: (1) a description of the planned research
(question, conceptual framework, method, possible findings, importance to
the field), (2) a complete academic and professional resume, (3) an
academic writing sample, and (4) the names and contact information of
three academic references. Applications should be submitted no later than
February 1, 2013 at:
http://baldycenter.info/fellowships2013 For further information, see our
answers to frequently asked questions. Additional questions about the Baldy
Fellows Program should be addressed to Assistant Director Laura Wirth,
baldyassistantdirector@gmail.com or (716) 645-2581.
