Announcing: analytic theology fellowships and grants for 2013–2014

The Center for Philosophy of Religion at the University of Notre Dame, with support from the John Templeton Foundation, announces the following fellowships and grants available for the 2013-2014 academic year:

Analytic Theology Post-Doctoral Fellowships

These are one-year fellowships for the 2013-2014 academic year. They provide a funded leave of absence to be spent in residence at the Center for Philosophy of Religion at the University of Notre Dame, or, in exceptional circumstances, at other major centers for research on philosophy of religion or philosophical theology. These fellowships are open to faculty who teach in theology, religion, or divinity programs. Applicants must outline a research program that leads to scholarly publications in analytic theology or to new programs of study. Fellows receive a $60,000 stipend plus $15,000 for expenses. For further details, including sample topics and application instructions, please click here. Applications must be received by January 15, 2013.

Analytic Theology Cluster Grants

These grants fund interdisciplinary seminars or reading groups. Each funded seminar or group has two leaders – one theologian and one philosopher – and up to eight additional participants. The leaders must be faculty members. We will award up to five Grants with a maximum $15,000 budget per grant. For further details, including application instructions, please click here. Letters of intent must be received by February 15, 2013. Full proposals will be invited on a competitive basis. (Prospective participants apply to leaders after funding is secured.)

Analytic Theology Summer Stipends

These stipends provide $5,000 to fund summer research in analytic theology. Successful applicants in year one or two will automatically receive an award in year two or three if they meet the following two conditions:  (a) they intend to research a project in analytic theology during the second summer, and (b) their previously funded project has been accepted for publication at a peer-reviewed journal. For further details, including application instructions, please click here. Applications must be received by February 1, 2013.

Analytic Theology Course Awards

These awards provide funding for the development and implementation of courses, or course segments, in analytic theology at divinity schools and departments of theology and religious studies. The project expects to award five applicants with $15,000 each: $5,000 for the applying faculty member, and $10,000 for the host institution.
