Center of Theological Inquiry Invites Proposals for Research Fellowships on Religious Experience and Moral Identity

The Center of Theological Inquiry has received support from the John Templeton Foundation for a fellowship program to explore how new research in psychology, neuroscience, anthropology, and primatology are challenging our understanding of religious experience and moral and ethical identity.

The program seeks applications from scholars interested in the nature of religious experience and moral identity, particularly with regard to the development of virtues and vices.

Successful applicants will be awarded one of eight research fellowships of up to $70,000 or one of two postdoctoral fellowships of up to $40,000. Fellows will be in residence at CTI during the 2013-14 academic year for a period of one or two semesters.

Applicants for the fellowships should be in full-time tenured or tenure-track positions at an accredited higher education institution and should be pursuing a research project relevant to the inquiry and open to interdisciplinary discussion in theology, philosophy, and the natural and human sciences.
