An academic at Cambridge University's Judge Business School has been awarded one of only two Fulbright Distinguished Scholar Awards for 2007/08.
Dr Mark de Rond, director of the MPhil in innovation, strategy and organisation programme at Judge will use his £15k award to conduct collaborative research with academics at Stanford University in California. The award forms part of a scheme of educational grants, considered one of the most prestigious award programmes worldwide. More Fulbright alumni have won Nobel Prizes than those on any other academic programme, including two recipients in 2002. Presented annually, the Fulbright awards are offered to exceptional post-doctoral lecturers and academics as recognition of their potential as leaders in their chosen fields. Each award enables the recipient to spend a period of time researching or lecturing in the US, facilitating an exchange of persons, knowledge and skills between the US and the UK. Dr de Rond said: “This award will enable me to undertake a sabbatical at Stanford University next year where I will be collaborating with Professors James March and Robert Burgelman on new research relating to causation and causal explanation in the organization sciences.” |
