HLS Program Seeks Academic Fellows

The Harvard Law School Program on Corporate Governance is seeking applications from highly qualified candidates who are interested in working with the Program, and Program Director Lucian Bebchuk, as Post-Graduate Academic Fellows in the areas of corporate governance and law and finance. Candidates should be interested in spending two to three years at Harvard Law School (longer periods may be possible). Candidates should have a J.D., LL.M., or S.J.D. from a U.S. law school, or a Ph.D. in economics, finance, or related areas by the time they commence their fellowship. Candidates still pursuing an S.J.D. or Ph.D. are eligible so long as they will have completed their program’s coursework requirements by the time they start.

During the term of their appointment, Post-Graduate Academic Fellows work on research and corporate governance activities of the Program, depending on their skills, interests, and Program needs. Fellows may also work on their own research and publishing in preparation for a career in academia or policy research. A significant number of former Fellows of the Program now teach in leading law schools in the U.S. and abroad.

Applications are considered on a rolling basis, and the start date is flexible. Interested candidates should submit a CV, transcripts, a writing sample, a list of references, and cover letter to the coordinator of the Program, Ms. Jordan Figueroa, at [email protected]. The cover letter should describe the candidate’s experience, reasons for seeking the position, career plans, and the kinds of projects and activities in which he or she would like to be involved at the Program. The position includes Harvard University benefits and a competitive fellowship salary.
