Brown University’s Pembroke Center offers postdoctoral research associates a one-year residency supporting original research alongside undergraduate teaching and shared intellectual engagement. The program is open to external Ph.D.s and places fellows within the center’s scholarly community, where their research and teaching contribute to its intellectual life.
Participation in the Pembroke Seminar’s rigorous interdisciplinary community is central to the fellowship. In addition to pursuing independent research, fellows teach undergraduate courses of their own design, collaborate on research and programming, and develop professionally through faculty mentorship. The residency brings these activities together within a year-long setting for independent scholarship and collaborative work.
