TWCF independent research fellowships in the power of information, Deadline: 27 Apr 2018

Templeton World Charity Foundation (TWCF) Independent Research Fellowships 
in the Power of Information.

     Since 2013, TWCF has funded nearly twenty research projects around the 
world through its Power of Information Initiative, the goal of which is to 
use the concept of information to understand the world more fully. The 
concept of information offers a promising pathway for comprehending both 
micro- and macro-level phenomena with a single concept.

     The purpose of the Templeton Independent Research Fellowship in the 
Power of Information is to facilitate further research pertaining to the 
concept of information by supporting exceptional early-career researchers 
who are likely to establish themselves as prominent researchers in their 
fields. The Fellowship will allow the most talented postdoctoral fellows 
to pursue independent research projects that contribute to the overall 
goal of the Initiative.

     Following the success of the 2016 and 2017 rounds, TWCF will award up 
to three Fellowships in 2018. 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. Fellows must 
hold a PhD by the start of their Fellowship, although they need not have 
completed their degree when submitting their application, but they must 
apply within five full-time-equivalent research years of completing their 
PhD program. Applications will be considered from researchers in any of 
the following disciplines: mathematics, statistics, physics, chemistry, 
biology, biophysics, computer science, electrical engineering, or the 
philosophy of science. Applications are welcome from researchers of any 
nationality.

     Applications for the 2018 round of Fellowships will close on Friday 27 
April 2018. Please click on

the program and instructions for applying. Enquiries about the Fellowship
