Center for Philosophy, Politics, and Economics

Fellowships

The PPE Center aims to bring a dynamic and intellectually diverse group of scholars to Brown.

 

The Postdoctoral Fellowship Program is one of the core area's of the PPE Center's  research activity. Each year we carefully select top talent across the disciplines to be in residence at Brown for two years and contribute to a dynamic and intellectually diverse group of scholars. While at Brown, these scholars pursue their own research agendas, produce publications, participate in Center sponsored events on campus and add an array of challenging new courses to the Brown undergraduate curriculum.
