    The Center offers a residential postdoctoral fellowship program for scientists and scholars from this country and abroad.

    •a seminar series in which Fellows are invited to present their work
    •informal work groups that emerge during the year, which give Fellows with broadly overlapping interests a basis for sustained conversation

    •daily lunches at the Center, which often result in one-on-one meetings between potential collaborators
    •special events and recreational activities organized by the Center
    •Stanford campus colloquia and seminars provided by the Psychology Department, the Clayman Institute for Gender Research, the Humanities Center, etc.
