Codex
– The Stanford Center for Legal Informatics
(http://codex.stanford.edu)
is accepting applications for a Resident Fellowship
for the 2011-12 academic year. Codex is a
cross-disciplinary research center jointly operated
by Stanford Law School and the Stanford School of
Engineering. The center's mission is to explore the
application of technology toward improving the
quality, efficiency, and accessibility of the legal
system. Codex research fellows will have the
opportunity to spend one to two years at Stanford Law
School collaborating with scholars in computer
science and other relevant disciplines. Fellows will
work on the center's existing projects, and will have
the opportunity to explore related research on their
own and commence new projects. Fellows will work with
cutting edge technologies emerging from Stanford's
engineering departments, and will be expected to
bring a legally oriented perspective toward
integrating these technologies into the law. Sample
projects include automating the process of
intellectual property licensing and developing
automated legal compliance systems. Fellows
will also be involved in bringing in leading thinkers
in the field to speak at the law school on these
topic areas and will work with law and computer
science students to engage them in the center's
activities.
Qualifications:
Applicants should have a J.D. or equivalent law degree. Because the primary focus of the center is employing technology within the law, applicants should also have experience in computer science or engineering related fields. We welcome applicants with practical/professional technical experience in these fields as well as those with formal computer science or engineering undergraduate or graduate training. Applicants should be capable of learning and be comfortable with the technological aspects of the center's projects.
Salary for the fellowship will be approximately $40,000 per year with benefits.
How to Apply:
