George Sharswood Fellowship

Location: Philadelphia, PA
Open Date: Sep 01, 2023
Deadline: Nov 28, 2023 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time

The Sharswood Fellowship was created in 2007 to encourage scholars committed to entering a career in legal academia. Each year the Penn Carey Law faculty awards two fellowships that each fund two years of research, writing, and teaching. The Sharswood Fellowship is distinguished by fellows' full integration into the law school faculty and its emphasis on teaching classes that the fellow feels will help them prepare for the teaching they will do as an assistant professor. The Law School has an excellent record of placing fellows and Sharswood Fellows have gone on to tenure-track legal academic positions at law schools including those at Stanford, U.C. Berkeley, the University of Chicago, New York University, and the University of Pennsylvania.

Sharswood Fellows join a vibrant community of academic fellows from the Law School's Quattrone Center for the Fair Administration of Justice; Center for Technology, Innovation, and Competition; and the Penn Program on Regulation. Sharswood Fellows also benefit from faculty mentorship and enjoy faculty access to the Law School services and events. They hold academic standing comparable to that of visiting assistant professors.

Applications will be received starting September 1, 2023, and reviewed on a rolling basis. We anticipate making two new appointments during this cycle, with a hire date of July 1, 2024.

Writing & Research

The Sharswood Fellow will be expected to produce at least one legal academic work of publishable quality during each year of funding. The work is expected to be of a length akin to a standard law review article.

Teaching: Academic Year 1 ()

Spring - Fellows teach a seminar based on the subject of their research.

Teaching: Academic Year 2 ()

Fall - Fellows teach the same seminar that they taught the previous spring.
Spring - Fellows teach a course to be determined in consultation with the dean.

Job Preparation

Typically, Fellows prepare for the academic teaching market during their first year and apply for academic jobs during their second year.

Qualifications
Eligibility

Sharswood Fellow applicants must have earned a law degree or PhD or equivalent in a related field and should not yet have held a full-time tenure track legal academic appointment.

One of the Fellowships every two years is designated for University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School graduates.
