Graduate Fellowship - Property and Environment Research Center (Bozeman, MO)

Who: Founded in 1980 by a handful of outdoor-oriented economists in Bozeman, Montana, PERC—the Property and Environment Research Center—is a conservation and research institute dedicated to free market environmentalism. Our research examines how markets encourage cooperation instead of conflict over natural resources and how property rights make the environment an asset by giving owners incentives for stewardship. Together, they improve environmental quality.

What: PERC Graduate Fellowships offer the ideal opportunity for graduate and law students who are interested in researching issues related to natural resources, innovation, property rights, and the environment. Graduate fellows spend three months at PERC over the summer in Bozeman, Montana, researching and writing a paper under the mentorship of a PERC Senior Fellow.

Graduate fellows have the opportunity to work in depth on a thesis or dissertation and can fasttrack research. This is a chance to get feedback from experts in fields including economics, law, and environmental science. Graduate Fellows are expected to interact with other PERC scholars and fellows while in residence, and it is intended that the fellowship period be thought of as an opportunity to either establish or strengthen a continuing relationship with PERC. Office space is provided in a congenial, stimulating work environment in a locale of unparalleled natural beauty. Fellows will receive a monthly stipend in addition, reimbursement for reasonable domestic round trip travel expenses to Montana.
