Dear ESA colleagues,

The Animal Welfare Economics Mentorship Program is now accepting applications from PhD students and early-career scholars curious about working at the intersection of economics and animal welfare. Experiments have been a primary method of empirical analysis in this subject area. 

Who
Applicants should be enrolled in a PhD program or have completed their PhD within the last two years. We welcome candidates in economics and related disciplines (e.g., agricultural and resource economics, business economics, etc.). Experimentalists are especially welcome as many of the mentors have a background in experimental economics.

What the Program Offers

  • One-on-one mentorship with faculty scholars active in animal welfare economics

  • Supportive conversations on research ideas, feedback, and professional development

  • A low-commitment format: mentors and mentees meet remotely 2–4 times per academic year

Why Join?
Research shows that mentorship can significantly improve academic outcomes, from increased research productivity to greater job-market success and higher tenure rates. This program offers guidance, encouragement, and opportunities for collaboration with senior researchers in the field.

Apply Here



Please forward to those who may be interested.

Kind regards,

Joshua Tasoff
Visiting Associate Professor, Chapman University
