Overview
The Templeton Research Fellows in Evil and Skeptical Theism will provide one-year awards to up to four applicants, open rank. Fellows will be expected to spend the year in residence at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, IN, interacting with leading scholars in the philosophy of religion for the purpose of undertaking cutting-edge research on their topics.
The University of Notre Dame provides unique opportunities for sustained contact with scholars in philosophy of religion, theology, and early modern philosophy—contacts which not only can be quite helpful but, in the case of some topics, are the necessary prerequisites for excellent scholarship in the field.
Each successful applicant will receive a total fellowship award of $55,000 to $85,000. Stipend will depend on rank and circumstances of the applicant, and up to $15,000 of each award may be received as reimbursement for travel, re-location, or research-related expenses.
In addition, fellows will have joint access to up to $25,000 to convene a two-day workshop in the late spring of 2012 on the theme of skeptical theism. This workshop will enable fellows to showcase and receive feedback on their work, and promote a broader research agenda on these topics. Fellows will work with the Fellowship Directors to determine the workshop content and schedule, though all the logistical and administrative details will be handled by the Center’s administrative staff. Additional money will be available to invite outside scholars of interest to the fellows for brief visits during their tenure.
The three major components of the Templeton Research Fellows in Evil and Skeptical Theism Program are:
- Performing cutting edge research on skeptical theism and its relevance to the problem of evil.
- Researching the extent to which skeptical theism is plausible, and/or informs our conceptions of the nature and reality of God and evil.
- Utilizing the rich resources that are available at the University of Notre Dame and the Center for Philosophy of Religion.
Each Fellow is expected to complete and disseminate the results of their research through publications, lectures, or presentations at academic conferences within a short time after the end of the fellowship program. Fellows are also expected to submit a report to the Fellowship Directors describing the effects of their time as Fellows on the direction of their research within a year following the fellowship period, and to send the Fellowship Directors notices of presentations, as well as copies of any papers and books resulting from research conducted during the fellowship period.
Application Instructions
Applicants must have a Ph.D., and be affiliated with an accredited college or university. Applicants should be able to demonstrate strong promise of or an established record of successful publication. Applicants should prepare a timeline describing precisely the work that will be completed during the grant period, the order in which the work will be completed, and (when applicable) how the work to be completed at Notre Dame connects with the applicant’s larger research program.
