Brandon Research Fellowship in International Law 2018-2019 – Applications deadline: 19 March 2018
The Lauterpacht Centre for International Law is pleased to invite applications for the 2018-2019 Brandon Research Fellowship, which continues to be funded by generous gifts made by Mr Michael Brandon (1923-2012) in 2009 and by Mr Christopher Brandon in 2013.
The Brandon Research Fellowship is intended to cover a stay of at least 11 – 13 weeks at the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law and has a maximum value of GBP 4,500; any additional travel or other expenses will be the responsibility of the selected Fellow. Awards will be made pro rata if a visit of less than 11 weeks is agreed to. The Fellowship is tenable between October 2018 and September 2019. Two awards may be made if the strength of the field warrants it.
LCIL provides a centre for research in Cambridge for legal practitioners and academics from around the world. The Brandon Research Fellow will be welcomed as part of the community of visiting academics at LCIL and will undertake their own research project on some aspect of public or private international law or international arbitration.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: MONDAY 19 MARCH 2018
Applications should be submitted in accordance with the guidance notes and using the application form below. The application should consist of the following:

The Good Lobby Fellowships
agosto 3, 2016
The Good Lobby is an innovative skill-based matching organization connecting people with expertise and knowledge with civil society organizations that need their help. Accordingly, we are building a growing network of professionals across different disciplines like lawyers, communication strategists and IT consultants to support civil society organizations active in the EU policy field in need of professional services. Non-profit organizations lacking economic means and/or expertise receive pro bono or low bono integrated legal advice, communications strategy plans and research. 
The Good Lobby is interested in hiring students (especially LLM graduates) seeking post-graduate fellowship opportunities (in particular former interns at EU institutions, EU NGOs, lobbying firms and Brussels-based law firms).
Fellows at The Good Lobby work under the close supervision of Alberto Alemanno and Lamin Khadar. Fellows will assist in providing “matchmaking” services to NGO, academic and law firm partners and with soliciting and identifying experts, new incoming projects as well as in providing legal strategy, policy analysis and advocacy across several policy areas. Fellows will also assist with the development of new programmes related to pro bono, street law and advocacy training and with organising The Good Lobby events in Brussels. Applicants must secure funding for this position and must commit to at least 4 months (ideally 6). We encourage students to contact their schools regarding potential funding available for post-graduate fellowships.
Students interested in a post-graduate fellowship at The Good Lobby should submit a letter of interest and resume via email to Alberto Alemanno (alemanno@hec.fr) and Lamin Khadar (lamin@thegoodlobby.eu). Please state in your letter the potential sources of funding that are available to you. We assess submissions and select candidates on a case-by-case and rolling basis. Please do not call about this position. We regret that we cannot respond to all inquiries.
