Prerequisites
Applicants must have completed a Ph.D. in a social science discipline (e.g., economics, marketing, operations, organizational behavior, psychology, sociology) or in a related discipline that can inform the social sciences (e.g., a "big data" discipline) prior to the beginning of the fellowship.
Position Details
The Golub Capital Postdoctoral Fellows Program is under the direction of Angela Lee. The fellows will conduct original research related to social impact with one or more faculty members across Kellogg academic departments, and applicants are encouraged to identify one or more faculty members with whom they would be interested in collaborating. Interests in interdisciplinary work are a plus. Core faculty of the Golub Capital Social Impact Lab at Kellogg include: Chethana Achar, Galen Bodenhausen, Sean Higgins, Dean Karlan, Brayden King, Maryam Kouchaki, Ivuoma Onyeador, Lauren Rivera, Karen Smilowitz, Klaus Weber, Aaron Yoon.

The fellows are expected to be actively involved in Kellogg's intellectual communities by participating in colloquia, workshops and research seminars.

The Golub Capital Board Fellows Program is a rigorous, 20-month program that connects 100 top Kellogg students to Chicago-area nonprofits for a distinct opportunity in board service.
