Doctoral and Post-Doctoral Fellowships For Research on Employee Stock Ownership for 2016-2017

Deadline: December 31, 2015

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, restricted stock, stock options, and related forms of equity compensation 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 Fellowship with a stipend of $25,000 and the Louis O. Kelso Fellowships with stipends of $25,000 and $12,500. Several other related fellowships and research grants are also available. One Beyster Fellowship will be offered with special attention to the role of broad-based employee ownership in Federal policy on entrepreneurship. Five Louis O. Kelso Fellowships will be offered to study
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) firms and workers as well as approaches whereby individual citizens may have access to capital ownership and dividend accounts. Fellows may be in residence at their own institution or visit Rutgers. Participants also receive support to attend a mid-year workshop and a summer symposium. Fellowship stipends may be used for research, travel, or living expenses. Decisions will be announced by March 15, 2016 with the research fellowships beginning July 1, 2016. Doctoral students, post-doctoral scholars, untenured professors, and later career scholars will be considered. Please submit a statement of no more than 1500 words describing the proposed research project, a CV and three letters of reference sent separately to:
