The Center for the Study of Law and Culture at Columbia University invites applications for residential fellowships for the 2007-2008 academic year to undertake research, writing and discussion in ways that span traditional academic disciplines. The CSLC welcomes scholars from any field who are interested in spending the academic year in residence at Columbia Law School working on scholarly projects relating to the CSLC’s 2007-2008 theme: Executive Power. We aim to appoint fellows whose scholarship addresses the critical and legal implications of expanding executive power not merely from the perspective of the state—such as the Bush administration’s celebrated attempt to expand executive privilege vis-à -vis the other branches of US government—but from the perspective of power more generally. Since the post-structural assault on theories of power that posited it as emanating from a concentrated source, critical theory has conceptualized power as dispersed, capillary, and simultaneously productive and repressive. What might be the ramifications on legal and critical thought and practice at the intersection of new attempts to concentrate institutionally various forms and careers of power? We invite in particular scholarship whose focus is outside the US and lies at the critical conjuncture of law and culture. Fellows will be required to present an original paper from their research and to participate in a year long colloquium on the same topic.

As part of the recent EPSRC/GlaxoSmithKline-sponsored initiative in Array Chemistry, this position is available under the supervision of Dr Steve Marsden and Professor Adam Nelson.
A postdoctoral research fellowship is available to develop novel synthetic methodologies appropriate for array synthesis and to use these methodologies in array synthesis of drug-like molecules.
The research effort will be based in alternating years at Leeds and at GlaxoSmithKline’s Stevenage research centre. A commitment to complete periods of work at both sites will be highly important. You will have, or be about to obtain, a PhD in synthetic organic chemistry and will have a strong interest in synthetic organic chemistry and the mechanisation/automation of synthesis and purification. You will also have good IT skills in order to handle large amounts of data.

This is a last reminder for applications for the Erasmus Mundus master program and scholarships for students in Applied Ethics. I would be grateful if you could forward this information to interested students.
Our master program has a strong focus on political and social ethics, and also on public health and bioethics. The program is a joint venture of the universities of LinkÃping (Sweden), Utrecht (The Netherlands) , and Trondheim (Norway). We can offer more than 20 scholarships for the best non-European students. The scholarships amount to approximately 20,000. Decisions about admission and about scholarships will be made on the basis of evaluation of written work and background in ethics and moral philosophy. Approximately 12 scholarships are earmarked for specific (Asian) countries.
