Templeton Dissertation Fellowships in Evil, Pain, and Contemporary Philosophy of Mind 2012–2013 (EXPIRED)

The Templeton Dissertation Fellowships program in Evil, Pain, and Contemporary Philosophy of Mind, hosted by the Center for Philosophy of Religion at the University of Notre Dame, will provide up to two one-year residential fellowships for the 2012–2013 academic year. These Fellowships fund research focused on the biological and psychological nature and utility of pain and suffering, and/or the relations between pain and suffering and the problem of evil. 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.)
