The Stanford Rock Center for Corporate Governance seeks an outstanding recent PhD graduate with a demonstrated record of producing high-quality, policy-relevant research on critical issues in corporate law and governance.

We invite applications for a postdoctoral fellowship beginning in Summer/Fall 2026 for a one- or two-year term. The Rock Center’s Postdoctoral Fellows Program is designed for promising new PhDs—particularly those trained in accounting, finance, economics, or related disciplines—who are interested in pursuing rigorous, policy-relevant research at the intersection of law and business.

The fellow will allocate approximately 50% of their time to supporting Rock Center initiatives and/or Professor Colleen Honigsberg’s research, with the remaining 50% devoted to their own scholarly agenda. The position will be primarily supervised by Professor Colleen Honigsberg, with additional mentorship from Professor Bobby Bartlett. The program is structured to support the development of a strong research pipeline, including the opportunity to coauthor work with Professors Honigsberg and Bartlett.

Required Qualifications: 
  • Doctoral degree conferred prior to appointment start date, preferably in accounting, finance, economics, or related disciplines. 
Required Application Materials: 
  • a CV
  • a cover letter describing relevant research experiences, accomplishments, and goals.
  • a list of three academic or professional references
  • a job market paper or academic writing sample
