The Program on Corporate Governance at Harvard Law School (HLS) is pleased to announce that it is seeking applications from highly qualified candidates who are interested in working with the Program as Post-Doctoral or Doctoral Corporate Governance Fellows.
Candidates should have a law degree from a law school in the United States or abroad. Candidates still pursuing a doctoral degree are eligible so long as they will have completed their program’s coursework requirements by the time they begin their fellowship period.
During the term of their appointment, Fellows will be in residence at HLS. They will be required to devote part of their time to work on research tasks assigned by the Program, depending on their skills, interests, and Program needs, but will be able to spend significant time on projects initiated by them. The position will provide a competitive fellowship salary and Harvard University benefits.
Applicants should have an interest in corporate governance and in academic or policy research in this field. Former Fellows of the Program currently teach in many leading law schools in the U.S. and abroad (e.g., Scott Hirst (BU), Robert Jackson (NYU), Marcel Kahan (NYU), Kobi Kastiel (Tel-Aviv), Yaron Nili (Duke), Roberto Tallarita (Harvard) and Holger Spamann (Harvard)).
Interested candidates should submit a CV, a writing sample, and a cover letter to the coordinator of the Program, at [email protected]. The cover letter should describe the candidate’s experience, reasons for seeking the position, career plans, and the period during which they would like to work with the Program.
Applications are considered on a rolling basis, and the start date is flexible. Candidates should apply only if they seek to stay at the Program for two years. All personnel appointments at the Program are for one year, but the appointment period is generally extendable for additional one-year period/s (subject to business needs and satisfactory performance).
