Women in Law and Finance Fellowships
Application deadline: 01/20/2025
Job Description & Qualification
The Center for Advanced Studies “Foundations of Law and Finance” at Goethe University Frankfurt, Departments of Law and Economics and Business Administration, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), offers Women in Law and Finance Fellowships starting at the earliest possible date. The duration of the fellowships is between six months and one year. The Center investigates how institutional and regulatory parameters influence financial market decisions and outcomes and takes a closer look at the interconnections between legislation, economics and politics in order to evaluate the impact of law on the financial sector. The Center puts a specific focus on green finance and regulation.
Candidates need to prove an excellent track record in their legal studies and a documented capacity to conduct high-quality research (e.g. doctoral degree in law). A degree in finance or economics is an asset. Successful applicants should conduct interdisciplinary research within the areas law and finance, corporate governance, or banking and show potential for publication of their work in leading international journals. Visiting fellows are supposed to participate in the research activities of the Center and develop collaborative projects with other scholars at the Center, Goethe University and other collaborating research institutions in Frankfurt.
Goethe University is seeking to increase its share of women in research and teaching and particularly welcomes applications from female scholars. Successful candidates will work in an enthusiastic team in a highly attractive academic environment in the House of Finance at Goethe University.
Application Procedure
Researchers are cordially invited to e-mail their applications (in English only) together with the usual credentials – cover letter, CV, job market paper, transcripts and one reference letter to research@lawfin.uni-frankfurt.de. The deadline for applications is January 20, 2025.
About the Organization
The Center for Advanced Studies on the Foundations of Law and Finance (LawFin) is Germany’s first interdisciplinary research group in economics and law, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). It explores how institutional and regulatory parameters influence financial market decisions and outcomes. LawFin examines the connections between legislation, economics, and politics to measure and evaluate the impact of law as a dynamic and evolutionary system on the financial sector and the economy, informing researchers how theoretical and empirical scholarship should optimally reflect these insights. The Center focuses on green finance and regulation. Believing interdisciplinary work enhances understanding of the interdependence of law and finance, LawFin seeks to integrate the comparative strengths of involved disciplines and provides a forum for global scholars from various disciplines to collaborate.
