KURT GÖDEL CENTENARY RESEARCH PRIZE FELLOWSHIPS

KURT GÖDEL CENTENARY RESEARCH PRIZE FELLOWSHIPS

(Organized by the Kurt Gödel Society with support from the John Templeton
Foundation)

The Kurt Gödel Society is proud to announce the commencement of the
research fellowship prize program in honor and celebration of Kurt Gödel's
100th birthday.

The research fellowship prize program sponsored by the John Templeton
Foundation will offer:

two Ph.D. (pre-doctoral) fellowships of $60,000 US per annum for two years

two post-doctoral fellowships of $ 80,000 US per annum for two years

one senior fellowship of $120,000 US per annum for one year

The purpose of the fellowship is to support original research in
mathematical logic, ~Smeta-mathematics,~T
philosophy of mathematical logic, and the foundations of mathematics. This
fellowship is to carry forward the legacy of Gödel,
whose works exemplify deep insights and breakthrough discoveries in
mathematical logic.

The selection will be made based upon an open, international competition.
An international Board of Jurors chaired by Professor Harvey Friedman will
oversee the process.The finalist papers will be published in a special
issue of a premier journal in mathematical logic.

Goal and Criteria of Merit:
In pursuit of similar insightsand discoveries, we adopt the following
criteria of merit for evaluating Fellowship applications:
1. Intellectual merit, scientific rigor and originality of the submitted
paper and work plan.The paper should combine visionary thinking with
academic excellence.
2. Potential for significant contribution to basic foundational
understanding of logic and the likelihood for openingnew, fruitful lines
of inquiry.
3. Impact of the grant on the project and likelihood that the grant will
make this new line of research possible.
4. The probability that the pursuit of this line of research is realistic
and feasible for the applicant.
5. Qualifications of the applicants evaluated via CV and recommendation
letters*
(*recommendation letters are not required for senior applications).
Scopes:

Original fellowship proposals from all fields of mathematical logic(such
as Computability Theory, Model Theory, Proof Theory, Set Theory),
~Smeta-mathematics,~Tthe philosophy of mathematics, and the foundations of
mathematics insofar as the research
has strong relevance or resemblance to the Gödelian insights and
originality.
