Templeton-Cambridge Journalism Fellowships in Science & Religion
is now inviting eligible journalists to apply for its 2009
fellowships. Deadline for Application December 15, 2008.
The fellowship enables ten print, broadcast, or online journalists
annually to pursue an intensive course of study in issues of science
and religion. The two-month program includes three weeks of seminars
at the University of Cambridge in the U.K. featuring eminent
authorities in the field. Fellows will be paid a $15,000 stipend in
addition to a book allowance and travel expenses.
The fellowship seeks to promote a deeper understanding and a more
informed public discussion of the creative interface of science and
religion. During the term of the fellowship, June through July,
journalists will have time for independent, private study as well as
access to eminent thinkers in an extraordinary intellectual and
cultural setting.
