Women in Law and Finance Fellowships
Application deadline: 12/01/2025
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.
Finance candidates need to prove a PhD in Finance or Economics. Law 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).

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.
