3 three-year postdoctoral fellowships will be awarded this year.

The stipend for academic year will be approximately $72,000.

Fellows are provided with a shared office, a personal computer, a research account of $5000 a year, and access to university grants, benefits and other resources.

Fellows are expected to reside in or near Princeton during the academic year in order that they may participate fully in the intellectual life of the Society.

The Society will reimburse the cost of travel and lodging associated with the interview.
