What benefits do Scholars receive at the Health & Society Scholars Program at Wisconsin?
Each Scholar is provided a research fund of up to $3,750 per year to use at his/her discretion for research-related items such as: computers, a student research assistant, purchase of data, and purchase of books. Also, the Health & Society Scholars Program at Wisconsin funds up to three to four professional meetings per year for each Scholar. Scholars at Wisconsin receive UW-Madison Postdoctoral Trainee benefits and are eligible for health and life insurance. Please note two important differences between the benefits for Health & Society Scholars and for other UW – Madison postdocs. First, Scholars receive a stipend that is set by the Health & Society Scholars Program, and is considerably higher than the postdoc stipends you’ll find on the UW benefits website. Second, relocation costs for Scholars are reimbursable up to $5,000, whereas most UW postdocs do not receive relocation reimbursement.
