The Global Academic Fellows Program was created to provide outstanding and aspiring legal academics with time and resources to transition into the global teaching market. Fellows will have access to an internationally leading faculty for mentorship, affiliation with related research centers, funding for attending academic conferences to present their work, and organizing a funded academic conference in your field. Applicants should have completed their final degrees (JD, JSD\/SJD, or PhD) before the start of their appointments, unless they possess significant practice experience.<\/p>\n
One to three fellows will be appointed each year, and will be expected to be in residence at HKU and devote their time primarily to their own research and preparation for entering the international teaching market. Fellows will also teach one course per year to further develop their teaching portfolios. Fellows will be provided shared office space and administrative support when needed. Information about the Faculty of Law can be found at: www.law.hku.hk.<\/p>\n
A highly competitive salary commensurate with qualifications and experience will be offered, in addition to annual leave, housing subsidy, relocation expenses and full medical benefits. At current rates, salaries tax does not exceed 15% of gross income. Fellows will be supported in applying for additional funding from Hong Kong and HKU sources.
