CALL FOR NOMINATIONS FOR THE 2010 DWC AWARDS
Nominations are requested for the following Division on Women and Crime awards:
Distinguished Scholar Award which recognizes outstanding contributions to the field of women and crime by an established scholar. The contributions may consist of a single outstanding book or work, a series of theoretical or research contributions, or the accumulated contributions of an established scholar. Eligibility includes scholars who have held a Ph.D. for eight or more years.
New Scholar Award which recognizes the achievements of scholars who show outstanding merit at the beginnings of their careers. Outstanding merit may be based on a single book or work, including dissertation or a series of theoretical or research contributions to the area of women and crime. Eligibility includes scholars who held a Ph.D. for less than eight years.
Lifetime Achievement Award which recognizes scholars upon retirement. We inaugurated this award on our 20th Anniversary, 2004. Scholars receiving this award should have an established career advancing the goals and work of the Division on Women and Crime.
CoraMae Richey Mann “Inconvenient Woman of the Year” Award recognizes the scholar/activist who has participated in publicly promoting the ideals of gender equality and women’s rights throughout society, particularly as it relates to gender and crime issues. This award will be granted on an ad hoc basis. Nominations should include specific documentation of public service (news articles, etc) and should describe in detail how this person’s activism has raised awareness and interest in the issues that concern the Division on Women and Crime. This award was inaugurated in honor of our 20th Anniversary in 2004.
Saltzman Award for Contributions to Practice recognizes a criminologist whose professional accomplishments have increased the quality of justice and the level of safety for women. The Saltzman Award need not be given every year. It is available to honor unique achievements combining scholarship, persuasion, activism and commitment, particularly work that has made a deep impact on the quality of justice for women, as well as a wide impact (interdisciplinary, international, or cross-cultural).
Graduate Scholar Award recognizes the outstanding contributions of graduate students to the field women and crime, both in their published work and their service to the Division of Women & Crime. Outstanding contributions may include single or multiple published works that compliment the mission of the DWC, and significant work within the Division, including serving as committee members, committee chairs, or executive board members. Preference will be given to those candidates who have provided exceptional service to the DWC. Eligibility includes scholars who are still enrolled in an M.A. or Ph.D. program at the time of their nomination.

Research Fellow Center for the Study of the Legal Profession
Georgetown University Law Center
The Center for the Study of the Legal Profession at Georgetown University Law Center (CSLP) invites applications for the position of Research Fellow for the 2010-2011 academic year. The Fellow will be based at Georgetown Law Center. He or she will collaborate with CSLP leadership on empirical projects of the Center, as well as pursue his or her own independent research relating to the legal profession. Research Fellows are invited to participate in CSLP and Law Center activities, including those directed to students, practitioners, and the research community.
CSLP promotes interdisciplinary scholarship on the profession informed by the challenges of contemporary legal practice; participates in the debate about regulation of the legal profession, both in the US and internationally; and investigates the role of globalization as it relates to the profession and legal education. Our current projects include a large-scale survey of Georgetown law graduates, an interview research project exploring how formal policies and informal norms shape law firm culture, and a study of law firm use of permanent salaried lawyers. CSLP also aims to provide students with a sophisticated understanding of the opportunities and challenges of a modern legal career and to furnish members of the profession, particularly those in organizational decision-making positions, with rigorous research that provides broad perspectives on trends and developments in practice. For more information on CSLP and its activities, please review our website at http://www.law.georgetown.edu/legalprofession/.
Applicants must have earned a JD or its equivalent and/or have earned or be working on a PhD in a relevant discipline (such as sociology, economics, political science, business, or anthropology). Training in quantitative empirical research methods is required, and experience working with survey data would be especially useful. To apply for the position, please submit a CV and a statement (3 pages maximum) describing your educational background, empirical research skills and experience, and research interests, and explaining how your background and interests relate to the activities of CSLP. Please also address how the position fits into your overall career goals.
We will begin reviewing applications immediately (May 26, 2010) and will continue until the position is filled. The Research Fellow will be appointed to a twelve-month term beginning in the fall of 2010.
The Research Fellow will earn a stipend of $62,500 plus benefits.
