Doctoral and Post-Doctoral Fellowships For Research on Employee Stock Ownership and Profit Sharing for 2014-2015

Deadline: December 31, 2013

The Fellowship Program at the Rutgers University School of Management and Labor Relations seeks to foster the study of the economics of broad-based employee stock ownership, profit sharing, stock options, and related forms of equity compensation and employee shares in the corporation and in the society of the United States. We are seeking applications in the areas of behavioral economics, corporate finance, development of the American economy, entrepreneurship, household finance, innovation, labor, law and economics, organizational economics, personnel economics, political economy, productivity, and public economics for the J. Robert Beyster Fellowships with a stipend of $25,000 and the Louis O. Kelso Fellowships with a stipend of $12,500. Several other related fellowships and research grants are available. Two Beyster Fellowships will be offered with special attention to the role of broad-based employee ownership in entrepreneurship, innovation, start-ups, and science-based companies. Five Louis O. Kelso
Fellowships will be offered to scholars studying the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) as well as approaches whereby individual citizens may have access to broadened capital ownership. Fellows may be in residence at their own institution or visit Rutgers University. Participants also receive support to attend a mid-year workshop and a summer symposium annually. Stipends may be used for research, travel, or living expenses. The deadline for online applications is December 31, 2013. Decisions will be announced by March 15, 2014 with the research fellowships beginning July 1, 2014. Both doctoral students and post-doctoral scholars will be considered. Please submit a statement of no more than 1500 words describing the proposed research project along with a curriculum vitae.
