Templeton Dissertation Fellowships in Early Modern Thought for 2012-2013 (EXPIRED)

The Templeton Dissertation Fellowships in Early Modern Thought program, hosted by the Center for Philosophy of Religion at the University of Notre Dame, will provide up to three one-year residential fellowships for the 2012 - 2013 academic year. These Fellowships fund dissertation research that provides new insights into the way in which the nature and reality of evil were treated in the distinctive intellectual culture of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, characterized as it was by distinctive intellectual trends including the maturation of the Reformation, the rise of modern science, etc. Fellows will be expected to spend the year in residence at the University of Notre Dame. Each successful applicant will receive a $25,000 fellowship award, plus up to $5,000 for relocation, travel and research. In addition, fellows will have joint access to funding to bring in outside speakers and visitors for short periods during their tenure, under the oversight of the fellowship directors. (Logistical and administrative details will be handled by the Center's administrative staff.)
