Princeton Center for Theoretical Science
The Princeton Center for Theoretical Science is dedicated to exploring the
frontiers of theory in the natural sciences. Its purpose is to promote interaction
among theorists and seed new directions in research, especially in areas
cutting across traditional disciplinary boundaries.
The Center is home to a corps of Center Postdoctoral Fellows, chosen from
nominations made by senior theoretical scientists around the world. A group of
senior Faculty Fellows, chosen from science and engineering departments
across the campus, are responsible for guiding the Center. Center activities
include focused topical programs chosen from proposals by Princeton faculty
across the natural sciences. The Center is located on the fourth floor of
Jadwin Hall, in the heart of the campus “science neighborhood”. The Center
hopes to become the focus for innovation and cross-fertilization in theoretical
natural science at Princeton.
