Please refer doctoral students and scholars who may be interested in fellowships in this area of research.

The Fellows Program at Rutgers University's School of Management and Labor Relations invites applications for fellowships to study employee stock ownership and profit sharing and broad-based stock options in the corporation and society in the United States. The fellowships will be awarded for the 2011-2012 academic year to outstanding PhD candidates or post-doctoral scholars or faculty in the areas of economics, economic and business history, labor studies and employment relations, law, management and business, public policy, and relevant social science and humanities disciplines. The general theme of the fellowships includes research on the idea, practice, and public policies involving broadening the ownership of capital assets in the corporation and in society, such as the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), as well as other approaches whereby consumers may have capital ownership of enterprises and individual citizens may have access to broader opportunities for capita!
 l acquisition in the economy. The relevance of these and other related ideas to the concept of economic democracy and democratic capitalism may also be examined. The Fellows are typically supported at their home institution but they may be in residence at Rutgers University. The period and length of the fellowship may vary between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012. The fellowships may be used for research, travel, or living expenses. Fifteen fellowships will be awarded: four Beyster Fellowships in the amount of $25,000. including the J. Robert Beyster Visiting Professorship, five Louis O. Kelso Fellowships in the amount of $12,500., two Robert Smiley Fellowships in Economic History in the amount of $5,000. for archival research, and several other related fellowships.
