the dialogue between theology and science on this topic
Offering 8 Research Fellowships up to $70,000 and 2 Postdoctoral Fellowships of $40,000, the Center of Theological Inquiry in Princeton will convene an interdisciplinary research team of theologians and scientists in residence for the 2012-13 academic year to address questions of nature and nurture raised by the biological evolution of human beings. Celia Deane- Drummond, University of Notre Dame, and Dominic Johnson, University of Edinburgh, will lead this inquiry. The work of the research team will include seminars with leading scientists and theologians such as Melvin Konner, Simon Conway Morris, Angela Creager, Sarah Coakley, Niels Gregersen, and Wentzel van Huyssteen.
We welcome proposals that explore how the explosion of new research in evolutionary biology, psychology, and anthropology is challenging and changing our understanding of human nature and development, not least in relation to religion and theological accounts of the human condition. Applications are encouraged from scholars in these evolutionary and human sciences and other relevant disciplines, including theology, religious studies, and the history and philosophy of science.
APPLICATION WINDOW: SEPTEMBER 1 – NOVEMBER 30, 2011
