Student Fellowships

A Note from the Petrie-Flom Center:

Faculty Director Professor I. Glenn Cohen will be on leave and away from Harvard next year, thus the formal Petrie-Flom student fellowship program will pause for the 2026-2027 academic year. 

There are still many great ways for students to get involved with the work of Petrie-Flom. We list opportunities in our newsletter. In addition, interested Harvard law students and graduate students not in the first year of their program may email Executive Director Susannah Baruch at sbaruch@law.harvard.edu to set up a meeting to discuss their interests. Please subscribe to our newsletter, follow us on social media, and check out our blog Bill of Health.

The Petrie-Flom Center Student Fellowship is a competitive one-year program designed to support Harvard graduate students interested in pursuing independent scholarly projects related to health law policy, biotechnology, and bioethics.

With intensive mentorship from Petrie-Flom Center affiliates, student fellows are expected to produce a piece of publishable scholarship by the end of the academic year. Student fellows blog regularly at Bill of Health, the Center’s blog, where their work receives substantial public exposure; participate in and organize Center events; and enroll in the Health Law, Policy, Bioethics, and Biotechnology Workshop, which provides the opportunity to interact with leading scholars in the field.

The application cycle for Student Fellows begins in March and notifications are made by the end of August. Full application information and deadlines will be posted in Current Opportunities when applicable.
