The Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences (CASBS) is an interdisciplinary research institution at Stanford University that incubates initiatives designed to address major questions about human behavior and society, and offers a residential postdoctoral fellowship program for scientists and scholars studying social, behavioral, and policy issues.
Fellows are drawn from a variety of fields, including "the five core social and behavioral disciplines of anthropology, economics, political science, psychology, and sociology".
[1][2] In recent decades, the Center has also hosted legal scholars, humanists, public policy practitioners, philosophers, and technical experts among others.
Its campus is 19,600 square feet (1,820 m2) with ample space for hosting groups of researchers.
