    ELAB POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM
    Application Deadline March 1, 2001

    The eLab (http://ecommerce.vanderbilt.edu) Post-Doctoral Fellowship Program
    is a two year position, offered by the Owen Graduate School of Management
    at Vanderbilt University in the City of Nashville. Two post-doctoral
    fellows will be selected for the inaugural year of the eLab post-doctoral
    program.

    Details of the program are available at:
    http://ecommerce.vanderbilt.edu/fellowship.html

    These fellowships are designed to provide financial and intellectual
    support for outstanding scholars early in their professional careers. In
    addition, the fellowships are intended to facilitate a scholar's transition
    into research and teaching in the area of electronic commerce, within the
    disciplines of Marketing, Organization Studies, Economics, and Strategy. We
    are interested in candidates who seek to specialize in one of these
    disciplines, as well as candidates with an interest in interdisciplinary
    work. As a primary goal, fellows are expected to produce high quality
    publishable research.

    Candidates must have completed, or expect to complete, a Ph.D within six
    years prior to their initial appointment. We will consider applicants with
    Ph.D's from a wide range of disciplines, including the social sciences,
    business, computer science, economics and statistics.

    The two-year fellowship offers compensation of $50,000 per year plus
    benefits, with additional compensation of $10,000 provided for teaching two
    7-week courses per academic year. Thus, if the fellow elects to teach,
    total compensation will be $60,000.

    Fellows will have plentiful opportunities to pursue their own research, and
    will be provided $5,000 per year in research support. The target starting
    date, August 15, 2001, is flexible.

    To apply for the eLab post-doctoral fellowship, please send the following
    information to the address listed below: (1) current curriculum vita; (2)
    examples of publications or other written work (no more than two); (3)
    three letters of recommendation; (4) a two-page statement of a) your
    background, b) your expectation as to how your career and research
    interests would benefit from participation in this program, c) summary of
    your proposed research, and d) description of your teaching interests; and
    (5) for applicants whose native language is not English, an official TOEFL
    score report (less than two years old) is also required.
