KURT G=D6DEL CENTENARY RESEARCH PRIZE FELLOWSHIPS (Organized by the Kurt G=F6del Society with support from the John Templeton= Foundation) The Kurt G=F6del Society is proud to announce the commencement of the resea= rch fellowship prize program in honor and celebration of Kurt G=F6del's 100th birthday. The research fellowship prize program sponsored by the John Templeton Found= ation 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 mathematic= al logic, =93meta-mathematics,=94 philosophy of mathematical logic, and the foundations of mathematics. This = fellowship is to carry forward the legacy of G=F6del, whose works exemplify deep insights and breakthrough discoveries in mathema= tical 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 journ= al in mathematical logic.

Intellectual merit, scientific rigor and originality of the submitted pa= per and work plan. The paper should combine visionary thinking with academic excellence. 2. Potential for significant contribution to basic foundational understandi= ng of logic and the likelihood for opening new, fruitful lines of inquiry. 3. Impact of the grant on the project and likelihood that the grant will ma= ke this new line of research possible. 4. The probability that the pursuit of this line of research is realistic a= nd feasible for the applicant. 5. Qualifications of the applicants evaluated via CV and recommendation let= ters* (*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), meta-mathematics, the philosophy of mathematics, and the foundations of mathematics insofar a= s the research has strong relevance or resemblance to the G=F6delian insights and original= ity.
