The following opportunity is open to all fields of business and all interests. However, I am sending
this to the ONE-L network in the hopes that I can attract someone interested in sustainability-related
empirical research. Feel free to distribute to others.
The Owen Graduate School at Vanderbilt is offering 2-year post-doctoral fellowships in the following
areas for newly-graduating Ph.D.s:
- Economics and Strategy
- Finance and Accounting
- Marketing
- Operations
- Organizational Behavior
Post docs are expected to work closely with Owen faculty on research projects. To be eligible,
candidates must complete their PhD by summer 2013 in any of the above areas or from related areas
such as psychology or statistics. The strongest candidates will be those whose interests align closely
with Owen faculty, and where the post-doc and faculty member can foresee developing joint
research projects. We encourage applicants to look in detail at Owen faculty research, and identify
faculty with similar interests and research (http://www.owen.vanderbilt.edu/vanderbilt/faculty-and-
research/).
The 2-year fellowship will begin in August of 2013. The pay is $40,000 a year, plus benefits as well
as an annual $2,500 allowance for research/conference-related travel and expenses. In addition,
the school will provide computers and computer support. During the period of the fellowship, the
fellows are expected to be in residence, work with faculty on research projects, participate in
research seminars in the school, and, if needed, teach one 7-week MBA course each year.
