The Yale Information Society Project is now accepting applications for a Law & Media Program Director. The Yale Information Society Project is an interdisciplinary center that studies the implications of the Internet and new information technologies for law and society. The Program Director should be an individual interested in a career in teaching, practice, or public service in an area of law and media such as First Amendment law, communications law and policy, intellectual property law, civil liberties and new media, new media business models for journalism, citizen journalism, government transparency, and media studies generally. The Law & Media Program Director will report to the ISP Executive Director and will have the following responsibilities: helping to run the Knight Law & Media Program at Yale Law School; recruiting and coordinating students who become Knight Law & Media Scholars; assisting with fundraising and project development; taking press calls on contemporary issues in law & media; speaking in high profile venues on behalf of the Yale ISP; and developing an individual research agenda and publishing individual scholarship. The Program Director will also work with students in the Media Freedom and Information Access (MFIA) Clinic, which engages in impact litigation to support a robust investigative role for news organizations and to preserve the public's right of access to information. The Program Director will help coordinate various special events, such as freedom of information boot camps, contribute to docket management, and manage MFIA activities during the summer months. Applicants should hold a J.D. or a Ph.D. in a media-related area. The candidate should be an excellent writer and well-organized.
