Law graduates or ABDs with strong backgrounds or work experience in related fields are also eligible to apply. The projects supporting these fellowships are supervised by Professor Helen Nissenbaum, in collaboration with other Cornell Tech faculty and with researchers at other U.S. research institutions. These are one-year positions with renewal for a second year depending on further funding.
