Research Associate Program
The Institute for Policy Integrity at NYU Law is looking for research associates for the fall semester. All J.D. and LL.M. students are invited to apply.
Co-founded by NYU Law School Dean Richard L. Revesz and Michael A. Livermore, IPI is a non-partisan think-tank and advocacy center devoted to improving the quality of government decision-making through legal advocacy and academic scholarship in the fields of administrative law, economics, and public policy. IPI maintains a particular focus on the environment and public health.
Each Fall and Spring semester, IPI seeks research associates with superior academic skills, preferably with journal experience or a background in economics, public policy, or environmental health. Students work part-time (approximately 10 hours per week), with flexibility during exam periods. RAs also attend monthly workshops focused on developing the practical skills necessary to engage in the legislative and administrative processes. Students may either earn law school credit through directed research projects or receive research assistant compensation.
In close collaboration with IPI attorneys, RAs work on cutting-edge legal and public policy issues in the areas of environmental, public health, and consumer protection. They conduct legal and policy research, and draft legal memoranda, briefs, congressional testimony, and comments on pending regulatory actions. RAs also provide research, drafting, and editorial support for IPI academic publications.
Applications for fall semester are evaluated on a rolling basis and are due by September 9. See the full brochure on our Web site for additional information.
