Call for Fellowship Applications

 

Templeton Research Fellows Program:

Philosophers and Physicists Collaboration 

on the Nature of Quantum Reality

at

IQOQI - The Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information

Austrian Academy of Sciences, Vienna, Austria

 

Program Director: Professor Anton Zeilinger

 

Scientists and philosophers who have been engaged at the junction of
physics, philosophy, and religious studies are invited to apply for a
Residential Templeton Research Fellowship in Vienna. Physicists should
have a strong philosophical background or inclination, and vice versa.
The duration of Fellowships will be one year, extendable upon further
application. Shorter tenures will be considered in special
circumstances.

This program of direct, extended collaboration among philosophers and
physicists will challenge participants to generate new perspectives and
interpretations of the world consistent with experimental findings,
theoretical advances, and human experience. The structure of the program
will expressly encourage innovative and informed approaches to
fundamental questions in a uniquely open but solidly grounded
atmosphere. Fellowship activities will build long-term,
cross-disciplinary partnerships among talented individuals capable of
articulating physically credible descriptions of what it is to be human
in light of our best contemporary knowledge of the workings of nature.

The Fellowship program is guided and supported by the program director,
with opportunities to study and to participate in basic quantum research
being undertaken by Prof. Zeilinger's group. Studies are further
supported by related seminars and a special visitors program.

Applications will be considered as openings occur. The start of a
fellowship term is flexible to accommodate the plans of the individual
fellow. Applicants should send a full CV with publication list, a list
of scientific talks and conference contributions, and a recent photo,
together with a statement of specific research interests, and any
relevant accompanying material. The selection of Fellows will be made by
an international and multi-disciplinary panel of judges. Young
scientists, philosophers, and students of religion are particularly
encouraged to apply. Please send application materials by e-mail or
regular mail to the following address:
