Sorenson Post-Doctoral
Fellowship Program

One of the primary missions of the Sorenson Center for Discovery & Innovation Studies is to help nurture the next generation of innovation scholars. In order accomplish this goal, we have developed a post-doctoral fellowship program. The fellowship is for two years, with an option for a third year, based on a fellow’s productivity. Fellows are matched with senior academic mentors within the Department of Entrepreneurship & Strategy. During the program, fellows will pursue their own research as well as joint projects with ENS faculty. Fellows also participate in a weekly junior faculty seminar. The program offers generous funding to support research and attend academic seminars, meetings, and symposia.

Interested candidates should have an interest in innovation and have completed a Ph.D. in strategy or economics prior to the start of their fellowship. When positions are available, we will post openings with the Academy of Management and American Economic Association. Please feel free to contact Matthew J. Higgins if you have any questions.
