SOCIAL IMPACT POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
KELLOGG SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT

The Golub Capital Social Impact Lab at the Kellogg School of Management is seeking applicants for

social impact, broadly defined. The term of the fellowship is for two years and begins in September
of 2022.  

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. Visit our website for more

The fellows are expected to be actively involved in Kellogg’s intellectual communities by participating
in colloquia, workshops and research seminars. The fellows will also serve as a think tank to support
student projects in the Golub Capital Board Fellows Program. 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.

Application Requirements
