The Lauterpacht Centre for International Law is pleased to invite applications for the 2020-2021 Brandon Research Fellowship (Brandon Fellowship), funded by generous gifts by Mr Michael Brandon MA, LLB, LLM (Cantab.), MA (Yale) (1923–2012) and by Mr Christopher Brandon.
The Lauterpacht Centre provides a centre for research in Cambridge for legal practitioners and academics from around the world. The Brandon Fellow will be welcomed as part of the community of visiting scholars at the Centre. While in Cambridge, visiting scholars have the opportunity to meet with other researchers in their field and are encouraged to participate fully in the activities of the Centre, including the Friday lectures and the work-in-progress seminars of the visiting fellows/scholars. Visiting scholars have automatic access to the Centre’s library, and access by application to the University Library and the Faculty of Law’s Squire Law Library.
The Brandon Fellowship is a postdoctoral research fellowship. It has a maximum value of £4,500.
