Beyster Fellowships

for the study of employee ownership, profit sharing,
and broad-based stock options in the corporation and society

The Beyster Fellows Program at Rutgers University invites applications for the J. Robert Beyster Fellowships. These fellowships will be awarded for the academic year to outstanding Ph.D. candidates or post-doctoral scholars studying employee ownership and related ideas such as profit sharing and broad-based stock options in the corporation and society in the United States. The fellowship would permit the student to associate with several scholars engaged in this area of research at Rutgers and receive mentoring and support.

Beyster Post Doctoral Fellowship

This fellowship will support pre-tenure scholars and recent Ph.D. graduates who are studying employee ownership and related ideas. Typically, the emerging scholar would be working on a book, research articles, case study, or a new research study. The stipend is $25,000 for one year and can be used for research, travel, and living expenses. The fellowship requires residency at Rutgers University. The period and length of residency at Rutgers University would vary depending on the scholar.

Requirements: Applicants should have a doctorate in a relevant social science, humanities, business or public policy discipline or a professional post-graduate degree.

Beyster Graduate Fellowship

This fellowship would support a Ph.D. student who is initiating or completing a thesis on employee ownership and related ideas. The fellowship would typically support two years of fieldwork, analysis, and writing after the completion of the qualifying exam. The fellowship amount is $25,000 per year. The fellow is appointed for one year with a second year renewal. The funds can be used to support full-time study at Rutgers University or research and travel expenses for graduate students at other Universities. Students who wish to combine the fellowship with graduate study at Rutgers must be accepted into the School of Management and Labor Relations doctoral program.

Requirements: Open to current or prospective Ph.D. candidates in a relevant social science, humanities, business or public policy discipline.
