*JOHN TEMPLETON FOUNDATION*

*EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT*

*WEST CONSHOHOCKEN, PENNSYLVANIA*

The John Templeton Foundation invites nominations and applications for the position of Executive Vice President.

Founded in 1987 by legendary global investor and philanthropist, Sir John Templeton, the mission of the $1.5 billion asset Foundation is to serve as a philanthropic catalyst for discovery into areas engaging in life's biggest questions. JTF provides grants and programs that challenge religions to realize how much they still need to learn and understand, and to embrace a culture of discovery that absorbs new insights and generates spiritual progress, particularly, but not exclusively, through scientific research.

The Executive Vice President will report directly to the President, and as his deputy, will play a major role in all aspects of the Foundation's activities. The successful candidate will have substantial intellectual credentials relevant to JTF's core program areas (Natural Sciences, Human Sciences, Philosophy and Theology, Character Development, Freedom and Free Enterprise, Gifted Education and World Religions) and will have a background in scientific research or within a multifaceted scientific organization where innovative global thinking is essential. The Executive Vice President's ability to create and maintain networks of academics and others who resonate with the Foundation's mission will be a critical component of the Executive Vice President's core responsibilities.

The John Templeton Foundation is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

More information about the Foundation can be found on its website http://www.templeton.org.

Please send all nominations or applications to Susan Meade and Jane Phillips Donaldson at jtf@phillipsoppenheim.com.
