Stanford's Graduate School of Business (GSB) has built a global reputation based on its immersive and innovative management programs. We provide students a transformative leadership experience, pushing the boundaries of knowledge with faculty research, and offering a portfolio of entrepreneurial and non-degree programs that deliver global impact.
The Golub Capital Social Impact Lab (Lab) is an initiative within the GSB that focuses on developing, applying, and testing cutting-edge digital tools to enhance the effectiveness of the social sector and catalyze innovation addressing social challenges. The Lab brings together affiliated academics, staff, researchers, and students passionate about developing, evaluating, and scaling innovative technology solutions for social impact.
The Lab’s research falls into three main areas: research to identify specific problems and associated potential technology solutions, iterative experiments that test and deploy technology-driven solutions, and general-purpose research on methods, processes, and practices that support the development and scaling of technologies.
Reporting administratively to the Director, Research Operations within the Research Hub and operationally to the Lab Director and Faculty Director, the Research Director, Golub Capital Social Impact Lab, will lead and oversee research related to the mission of the Lab and ensure the research is disseminated widely to both academic and general audiences.
