Global Academic Fellows

Position description

Applications are invited for appointments as Global Academic Fellow in the Faculty of Law, to commence in August 2026 or January 2026, for a period of two years.

The Global Academic Fellows Program was created to provide outstanding and aspiring legal academics with time and resources to transition into the global teaching market. Fellows will have access to an internationally leading faculty for mentorship, affiliation with related research centers, and funding for attending academic conferences to present their work. Other opportunities include running local workshops and organizing a funded international conference in their field. Applicants should have completed their final degrees (JD, JSD, or PhD) before the start of their appointments, unless they possess significant practice experience.

One to three fellows will be appointed each year, and will be expected to be in residence at HKU and devote their time primarily to their own research and preparation for entering the international teaching market. Fellows will also teach one course per year to further develop their teaching portfolios. Fellows will be provided shared office space and administrative support when needed. Information about the Faculty of Law can be found at: www.law.hku.hk.
