The atmosphere is appealing to careful thinkers who have an ability to communicate research in non-technical ways to diverse audiences. Fellows work in a congenial, stimulating work environment in a locale of natural beauty.
Fellows receive a stipend that varies with the nature of the work, duration of residence at PERC, and the fellow’s qualifications. The timing of stipend payments varies with the circumstances of the fellowship, although in every instance 20 percent of the stipend is withheld until completion of the final project.
