The Work of the SENCER Visiting Scholar
Scholars generally serve for a semester or a year and are designated by their major professional identification, such as “SENCER Visiting Scientist,” or “SENCER Visiting Mathematician.”
Visiting scholars do not have to be in residence, but may use the national office when in Washington, DC. While SENCER offers no salary subvention, we do provide modest support for travel, presentations at relevant meetings, and other activities.
