Dear all 

The Explaining Atheism project has now opened its funding stream for early career researchers -- more details below. 

Applicants can apply for up to £35k and the application deadline is 19 August 2022. It's a great opportunity to join an international and interdisciplinary collaborative research project, too. Please do pass on the details to colleagues who might be interested. Research can take place in any departmental setting, and projects using empirical research methods from across the human science disciplines (e.g. anthropology, sociology, history, biology, psychology) are all eligible for funding.

Best wishes

EARLY CAREER AWARDS (RFP2)

Call for Proposals

SUMMER 2022

Through a generous grant from the John Templeton Foundation, Queen’s University Belfast is pleased to announce the launch of an Early Career Awards initiative as part of the Explaining Atheism programme.

The Explaining Atheism programme is an international, multidisciplinary research programme cutting across the human sciences that aims to advance our understanding of the causal origins of atheism. Our Early Career Awards programme will fund approximately 6-8 awards of up to £35,000 (total pot: £200,000) to support projects of up to 18 months in duration from early career researchers whose work can advance our understanding in this area. Funding may be used to support a number of research activities, including new research, further dissemination of existing research and the development of future research projects.
