Masters of Laws (LL.M.) program in Law of the United States, University of Baltimore School of Law

The University of Baltimore School of Law offers a Masters of Laws (LL.M.) program in Law of the United States (LOTUS) for non-U.S. lawyers. The LL.M. LOTUS program was developed about five years ago at UB's Center for International and Comparative Law. The webpages contain information on curriculum, application instructions and the International Services Office which assists students from abroad. There is also a link to profiles of current students in the LL.M. LOTUS program.

The University of Baltimore faculty are excellent teachers with international experience and warmly welcome students and faculty from abroad. Baltimore, a port city, is located near Washington, D.C., and is a great place to network with lawyers engaged in international legal work. University of Baltimore has limited partial funding for some LL.M. students.

This program is for law students and recent law graduates who earned their first degree in law outside the U.S. and who are interested in pursuing an LL.M. in the United States.
Prospective applicants who have additional questions about the LL.M. LOTUS program can contact the Admissions Office at UB: LLMadmissions@ubalt.edu.

Graduate Research Assistantship Louisiana State University

An attractive Graduate Research Assistantship is available for a doctoral student to do research on linkages between the US, Latin America, and the Caribbean. It begins in August 2009, includes a stipend of $25,000 per year for four years, an additional needs-based supplement, all tuition, and health insurance. The student must complete course work toward the PhD while maintaining a 3.5 GPA, carry out research on the project under my supervision, and develop a related dissertation project. No teaching duties are required. Further funding opportunities are available beyond the four-year grant, e.g., Departmental Assistant Instructorship, Grad School Dissertation Writing Fellowship, or Graduate Research Assistantship on another sponsored project.

Review of applications will begin on January 16th and continue until filled.

The successful applicant will have appropriate speaking and writing skills in English and Spanish as well as a masters degree in geography or closely related humanities or social sciences discipline; want to join a group of creative, productive doctoral students conducting research on topics in the geography of Latin America and the Caribbean; want to complete a PhD in a top-ranked cultural and historical geography program; and want to pursue a career in academia.

LSU offers an attractive campus with impressive library, computing, and other types of support. The Department of Geography and Anthropology is involved in exciting interdisciplinary opportunities such as Atlantic Studies, and I particularly encourage grads who want to develop dissertation projects that engage the intersections of nature, culture, and history.
Baton Rouge is an affordable and vibrant city located an hour north of New Orleans in the heart of a culturally interesting region. The many notable faculty and graduates of the Geography & Anthropology Department have earned it a long-standing reputation for leadership in understanding the cultural and historical geography of Latin American, the Caribbean, and the US.

Dickinson College invites applications for an 18-month Visiting Postdoctoral Scholar in Sustainability of Human-Environment Interactions to begin August 2009.

The successful candidate will carry out a research project using spatial concepts and geographic information science methods (e.g. GIS) to explore questions about human interactions with the environment and implications for sustainability. The research project should be broadly interdisciplinary and address questions at the interface of at least two of the following: humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. Projects are sought with a focus on problems related to food systems and sustainable agriculture or land use change impacts on biogeochemical cycles and other ecosystem goods and services of watersheds, but proposals of projects on other aspects of human-environment interactions will also be considered. In addition to carrying out the proposed research project, the successful applicant will be expected to give a series of lectures as part of a colloquium on problems in sustainability, teach or co-teach one or two courses during the 18-month appointment in an area related to the applicant's expertise, and interact with undergraduates who are conducting research on topics related to the applicant's research.

The purpose of the Visiting Scholar appointment is to model for Dickinson faculty and students how spatial concepts and analytic methods can be applied to problems in sustainability and to provide the Visiting Scholar an opportunity to carry out a research project while gaining experience for successful research and teaching at a liberal arts college. Collaborations on research and teaching are strongly desired by our faculty, including faculty in Africana studies, American studies, anthropology, archaeology, biology, chemistry, community studies, East Asian studies, English, environmental science, geology, health studies, history, Latin American studies, and sociology. The Visiting Scholar will be affiliated with Dickinson's new Center for Environmental and Sustainability Education and other departments as appropriate, and will also work closely with Dickinson's GIS Specialist to promote the use of GIS throughout the college curriculum.

To be eligible, candidates must have received a doctoral degree in 2004 or later, or expect to successfully defend a dissertation no later than August 2009, demonstrated expertise with geographic information systems (GIS), a record of research that applies spatial analysis to problems of human-environment interactions, and teaching experience. Knowledge of spatial statistics would be advantageous. The successful applicant will receive a salary and benefits commensurate with experience and will be
eligible to apply for additional financial support for travel, research and professional development.

Apply on-line at: https://jobs.dickinson.edu/applicants/Central?quickFind=50670. Application materials must include (1) a letter of application with statement of research and teaching interests, (2) a research proposal of up to 3 pages with indication of modest budget needs, (3) a curriculum vitae, (4) a graduate transcript, and (5) names and contact details of three references. Applications received by February 2, 2009, will receive full consideration. Review of applications will continue until the position is filled.

Dickinson College is committed to diversity, and we encourage candidates who will contribute to meeting that goal to apply. Applications and nominations of women and minorities are strongly encouraged.
