The Emile Noel Fellowship Program |
|
A.
Objectives
The
principal objective of the Emile Noel Fellowship program is scholarship and the
advancement of research on the themes prioritized by the Jean Monnet Center for
International and Regional Economic Law & Justice. These themes include the
following over arching areas: European Integration, general issues of
International (principally WTO) and Regional Economic Law and Justice and
Comparative Constitutional Law. The expectation is that the residency of our
Fellows at NYU School of Law, will result in at least one paper that will be of
sufficient quality to be published as a Jean
Monnet Working Paper.
During
the period of residence, we encourage our Fellows to participate fully in the
life of the Law School and of NYU in general, not to mention the endless
possibilities that New York City has to offer. The Fellows will be expected to
play an active role in the activities of the Center including the
Emile Noel
Fellows Forum, one of the activities we consider to be at the heart of our
center. The Forum takes place on a bi-weekly basis throughout the fall and
spring semester. During the spring semester, the Emile Noel Fellows are in
addition expected to participate in the weekly
Jean Monnet
Seminar conducted by Professor J.H.H.Weiler
B.
Fellows
The Jean Monnet Center at NYU School of Law currently offers
fellowship opportunity for academics in the following two categories:
Senior Emile
Noel Fellows:
The
Senior Emile Noel Fellowship is open only to tenured faculty who are interested
in spending one semester or a full academic year as a Fellow within the Jean
Monnet Center. The Fellowship offers a symbolic honorarium (See below,
C. Administrative and Financial Provisions) however in order
to create a pleasant and fruitful residence within the center, we will
guarantee that each Senior Fellow receives comfortable office space for the
duration of their residency in addition to the availability of subsidized
accommodation within easy commuting distance of the Law School (See below,
D. Housing Facilities). To further their integration in the
intellectual life of the Law School, we will also ensure that our Senior
Fellows are included in many of the NYU School of Law Faculty events throughout
the academic year. This will be in addition to the environment of the Jean
Monnet Program within which our Fellows are involved in a wide range of
academic, social and cultural activities. Please take a look at the following
web pages for an insight into life within the Jean Monnet Center:
Emile Noel Fellows:
The
Emile Noel Fellowship
is open to post-doctoral
scholars (doctoral students must apply for a visiting doctoral researcher position through the Hauser Global Law School Program) and public
officials and offers the opportunity
of spending either one
semester or a full academic
year in residence at
NYU School of Law. The
Fellowship offers a
symbolic stipend (See
below, C.
Administrative and Financial
Provisions) and we will ensure that our
Fellows have pleasant
working space available
to them for the full
period of their residency
as well as the availability
of subsidized accommodation
within easy commuting
distance of the Law
School (See below, D.
Housing Facilities). We encourage our Fellows to integrate
themselves as much as
possible both academically
and socially in NYU
School of Law and welcome
them into the environment
of the Jean Monnet Center.
Please take a look at
the following web pages
for an insight into
life within the Jean
Monnet Center:
C. Administrative and Financial Provisions
Fellows
may be appointed for one semester or one academic year. Fellows are expected to
be present at NYU School of Law during the full period of their Fellowship. In
principle it is expected that Fellows will obtain their own source of finance.
Fellows
will normally receive a symbolic stipend of $3000 per annum (prorated) in the
hope that such funding, in addition to an official letter of appointment, will
help prospective Fellows secure additional funding. From this stipend the
fellows will be charged a capitation fee of $150 per month.
Emile
Noel Fellows of the Jean Monnet Center are full members of the NYU community
with access to all university facilities. The Center will provide comfortable
working space (private or shared office) for each fellow and will seek to provide
high level subsidized accommodation within easy commuting distance of the Law
School.
Fellows must have health insurance for the entire period of
their stay. Medical Insurance may be purchased from NYU but it is the
responsibility of fellows who wishes to take this option to make the necessary
arrangements. You should contact the University Health Insurance Department (www.nyu.edu/health) once you have your NYU registration. Fellows who are taking the
NYU insurance must arrange a transitional health insurance starting from the
first day of their arrival till the time they purchase the NYU insurance. It is
imperative that you have health insurance from the moment of your arrival in
the United States.
D. Housing Facilities
In
short, affordable housing is very difficult to find in New York city. A studio in the vicinity of
NYU School of Law will cost from $1500 upwards per month and is often likely to
be of poor quality. NYU’s own students who reside in University shared
apartment accommodation with shared bathrooms pay from $1400 upwards per month
and even this type of accommodation is very much in demand.
As a
result, in the past it has often been the case that our fellows have
experienced serious difficulties in finding accommodation and at times have
come to New York and simply been unable to find something suitable. In order to
avoid such situations, we have taken the measure of renting a bulk of high
quality apartments within easy commuting distance of NYU School of Law, located
at 45 Wall Street in the
downtown area
of Manhattan. We have available a fixed number of studio, one bedroom and two
bedroom apartments as we are aware that many of our Senior Emile Noel Fellows
and Emile Noel Fellows may wish to travel with a partner or family. The
concentration of the apartments in this building has allowed our program to
form a community for our fellows which otherwise may not have been possible.
The apartments are home to not only Emile Noel Fellows, but also to Global
Research Fellows and Hauser Research Scholars from within the Hauser Global Law
School Program here at NYU. Our experience has so far been very positive with
the apartments and the community which has been created at 45 Wall Street and
we hope that this atmosphere will continue to grow in the coming years.
In the
event that you are successful with your application for an Emile Noel
Fellowship, we would urge you to be in touch with us as soon as possible to
enquire into accommodation availability as we have only a fixed number of
apartments each year.

E. Admission
Process
The Jean Monnet Center is no longer accepting Emile Noel Fellowship applications for the 2005/2006 academic year. The deadline for Fellowship applications for the 2006/2007 academic year is March 31st, 2006. While the Jean
Monnet Center welcomes the submission of fellowship applications throughout the year, we recommend that candidates submit applications in the two months just prior to the next deadline as decisions regarding fellowship applications will only be made once the deadline has passed.
The
selection of Fellows will take into consideration the credentials of the
applicants, the interest of the program in the proposed research project and
possible synergies with the research of other Fellows. Up to nine Fellows are
accepted during any academic year.
The
completed application form (attachment) should be emailed to the
Jean Monnet Center at: ENFellows@juris.law.nyu.edu.
We look forward to hearing from you.
