Duties Description The Carey Gabay Fellowship is a paid two-year, full-time legal Fellowship program created in honor of Carey Gabay, a former assistant counsel in the Governor's Office who was killed in 2015 by an act of gun violence.
The Carey Gabay Fellow is appointed to work in the Governor’s Counsel’s Office. The selected candidate will work directly with the Counsel to the Governor and their staff on issues such as violence prevention, economic equality, and community development – policy areas that Gabay championed throughout his career.
The incoming Carey Gabay Fellow will serve from September 2024 to September 2026 (specific dates dependent on selection timeline and completion of background check) and will earn a salary of $85,000 per year plus a generous benefits package. The selected Fellow commits to serving in their role in Albany, NY for the duration of the two-year Fellowship program. The Carey Gabay Fellow also participates in an educational program along with participants in the Empire State Fellows program throughout the first year of their Fellowship, including bi-weekly evening classes and other career development sessions.
The successful applicant should be a bar-admitted attorney who, like Gabay, is committed to public service, hails from an economically disadvantaged background, and most importantly, embodies the integrity and kind-heartedness that distinguished Gabay personally.
