Got a sabbatical coming up next year? This just in from the ABF Visiting Scholar Program:
The American Bar Foundation (ABF) invites scholars to join our intellectual community for the 2012-2013 academic year. The ABF encourages national and international scholars on leave or sabbatical to take advantage of our diverse community and excellent facilities. We offer an office, telephone, and computer, but no stipend.
Preference will be given to visitors whose scholarship coincides with the research agenda of the ABF and who will be in residence full-time for all or part of the year. Summer visits are possible. Visitors are expected to participate in the intellectual life of the ABF, including a weekly seminar.
If you have an interest in this opportunity, please send an email to Robert Nelson at rnelson@abfn.org, subject line: Visiting Scholars Program, which states (1) the topic on which you are working, (2) the preferred dates for residence, (3) the days each week you would expect to be at the ABF, and (4) attach a CV.
Applications should be received by April 1, 2012. Applications will be considered as space allows. The ABF Appointments Committee will review applications and prospective visitors will be notified accordingly.
This year's scholars are: Erika George (Utah Law), Shobita Parthasarathy (Michigan Public Policy), and Lea Vandervelde (Iowa Law).
