Templeton Fellowships for US and International Scholars at NDIAS in USA, 2015/2016

The Notre Dame Institute for Advanced Study (NDIAS) is inviting applications for research Fellowships available for distinguished senior scholars to pursue advanced and creative research on one of the four major Templeton Fellowship Questions. Up to four residential Templeton Fellowships will be awarded for 2015-2016 academic year (August through May).  Successful research proposals, when completed, should have the potential to act as a catalyst for new thinking and an advance of knowledge in several disciplines. The closing date for application is October 15, 2014.

Study Subject(s): Fellowships are available for research on one of the four major Templeton Fellowship Questions:
1. What is human creativity and how does it manifest itself?
2. What is the place of the human mind in nature?
3. How do the life sciences and the humanities contribute to an explanation of the unique features of humans?
4. How can the plurality of religious traditions be integrated with a philosophical monotheism?
Course Level: Fellowships are awarded for distinguished senior scholars to pursue advanced and creative research.
Scholarship Provider: John Templeton Foundation and the Notre Dame Institute for Advanced Study (NDIAS)
Scholarship can be taken at: USA

Eligibility:
-Distinguished senior scholars with extensive records of academic accomplishment and who have had a considerable impact on their discipline are encouraged to apply.
-Outstanding junior scholars with academic records of exceptional promise and whose research agendas align with the purpose and parameters of the program are also invited to apply.

Scholarship Open for International Students: These research fellowships are open for US scholars and international scholars.

Scholarship Description: With grant support from the John Templeton Foundation, the NDIAS will help chart a new course for future scholarship by offering Templeton Fellowships that encourage scholars to return to reflection on the broad questions that link multiple areas of inquiry and to do so in a manner that embraces a value-oriented interpretation of the world. Especially important to a complex, highly technical world is the integration of the sciences focused as they are on the descriptive, with other disciplines, namely philosophy and theology, with their concern for normative questions. Templeton Fellowships provide an opportunity to integrate the exact sciences into a vision of the unity of knowledge based on the categories of the true, the good, and the beautiful; an opportunity to foster a vibrant and substantive interdisciplinary exchange in which ”secular” and spiritual knowledge are seen not in opposition to but as complementary elements of the human pursuit of truth.

Number of award(s): With the generous support of the John Templeton Foundation, the Notre Dame Institute for Advanced Study will offer up to four residential Templeton Fellowships for the 2015-2016 academic year (August through May).

-a stipend of up to $100,000;
- fully furnished faculty housing (for those who reside outside of the Michiana area);
- up to $3,000 in research expenditures;
-a private office at the NDIAS, with a personal desktop computer and printer;
- access to two research assistants for up to 10 hours per week during each 15-week semester (fall 2015 & spring 2016);
- participation in the NDIAS research workshops and events, including the two weekly seminars held at the Institute;
- access to University of Notre Dame libraries and other facilities;
- registration, meals, and materials for the NDIAS conference;
- hosted collegial dinners and scholarly events; and
- the opportunity to develop and to participate in major presentations of research, especially with Templeton Colloquia.

Selection Criteria: Templeton Fellowship Applications will be evaluated on the following merit criteria:
1. The degree to which the proposed research project addresses the selected research questions in a significant and innovative manner.
2. Whether the proposed research project would be considered excellent and includes academic work/research that is or would be considered significant.
3. The depth and breadth of an applicant’s integration of the disciplines (interdisciplinarity) within their proposed project.
4. The degree to which the proposed research project will make a substantial contribution to the study of the research questions selected in respective disciplines and fields.

Scholarship Description: The Hubble Fellowship Program provides an opportunity for highly qualified recent postdoctoral scientists to conduct independent research that is broadly related to the NASA Cosmic Origins scientific goals as addressed by any of the missions in that program: the Hubble Space Telescope, Spitzer Space Telescope, Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), the Herschel Space Observatory, and the James Webb Space Telescope. The research will be carried out at United States Host Institutions chosen by each Fellow.

Number of award(s): Contingent upon National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) funding, up to 17 new Hubble Fellowships will be awarded for 2015.

Duration of award(s): Contingent upon the availability of funding from NASA, Hubble Fellowships are awarded through grants to Host Institutions for up to a three-year period. Funding will be provided initially for the first year of the Fellowship. Renewals for the second and third years will depend on annual performance reviews.

What does it cover? The initial annual stipend for a Hubble Fellow will be approximately $67,000, subject to annual review and adjustment. In addition, the Hubble Fellow can receive health insurance, relocation costs, and support for travel, computing services, publications, and other direct research costs. No additional stipend, salary, or other remuneration may be accepted from any other appointment (such as teaching), fellowship, or similar grant during the period of the Fellowship. Additional honorary named appointments intended to be linked with the title of “Hubble Fellow” are similarly not allowed.

Selection Criteria: Not Known

Notification: Fellowship offers for 2015 will be made before February 1, 2015, and acceptance or refusal must be made before February 13, 2015. After this date additional offers may be made if any of the initial awards are not accepted.

Online Application: Applicants must submit their materials via the web Application Form. These materials must include:
-A completed Hubble Fellowship Application form;
-A curriculum vitae
-A list of publications
-A summary of previous and current research (limited to three pages total, including references)
-A copy of the research proposal, described below (limited to 3 pages text plus 2 pages references/figures)
-All materials submitted must be in at least 12-point fonts, single spaced, and all pages should be numbered. Non-U.S. applicants should make sure that their applications will copy successfully onto 8.5×11 inch (21.6×28 cm) paper without loss (i.e., with 1-inch margins on all sides). Please keep each file to less than 2 MB.
Applicants must arrange for their research proposals to be read and approved by a faculty member of the first-choice Host Institution (the Faculty Contact), and endorsed by an official of that Institution. The letter of endorsement must be uploaded electronically directly to STScI by November 13, 2014. Applicants must enter an e-mail address for the authorizing official on the application form; instructions for uploading the letter will be sent to that e-mail address. The Faculty Contact can usually help the applicant to determine just who is the appropriate official, e.g. the Department Chair, Division Head, etc. The institutional endorsement is necessary to indicate that adequate facilities will be provided for the Hubble Fellow, but does not ensure selection by the Hubble Fellowship Review Panel. The endorsement consists of an acceptance letter signed by an authorizing official (typically the department chairperson) of the first-choice Host Institution.

Scholarship Application Deadline: The deadline for receipt of applications is Thursday, November 6, 2014 and for reference letters is Thursday, November 13, 2014.
