ABF/National Science Foundation Doctoral Fellowship Program in Law & Inequality

With support from the National Science Foundation, the ABF hosts the ABF/National Science Foundation Doctoral Fellow in Law & Inequality. This fellowship in residence at the ABF supports original empirical and interdisciplinary research on the study of law and inequality.  

Applications are invited from outstanding students who are Ph.D. candidates and who have completed all doctoral requirements except the dissertation. Doctoral research must address significant issues in the field and show promise of a major contribution to social scientific understanding of legal or higher education. Students from underrepresented minority groups are especially encouraged to apply. There are no citizenship requirements for this fellowship, but candidates must be authorized to work in the United States. Please note that we do not have the institutional capacity to sponsor visas through the Department of Homeland Security.
