Templeton Independent Research Fellowships, U.S.A., UK & China (2016-2017)

The Templeton World Charity Foundation is pleased to announce that applications are now being accepted for the Templeton Independent Research Fellowships in the Power of Information. These fellowships enable early-career scientists to conduct research that utilizes the concept of information to understand the world more fully. Such research will help to determine whether the concept of information possesses the potential to serve as a fundamental idea in science.

TWCF will award up to three fellowships in 2016. Each Fellowship will provide financial support of up to $110,000 per year for up to three years, tenable at any recognized university or research institution in the world, and will be subject to successful completion of TWCF’s compliance monitoring procedures. Fellows must hold a PhD by the beginning of their Fellowship, although they need not have completed their degree when submitting their application. Applications are welcome from scholars of any nationality.

Eligibility
• PhD in mathematics, statistics, physics, chemistry, biology, psychology, computer science, electrical engineering, or the philosophy of science.
• Applicants must apply within five full-time-equivalent research years of completing their PhD program. Newly graduated PhDs are particularly encouraged to apply.
