The Princeton Center for Theoretical Science is a new, University-funded enterprise dedicated to exploring frontiers across the theoretical natural sciences. Its purpose is to promote interaction among theorists and seed new directions in research, especially in areas cutting across traditional disciplinary boundaries.

This new, privately funded Center will be home to a highly select corps of Center Postdoctoral Fellows, senior Center Faculty Fellows, and Visiting Fellows both within and outside the University, and it will be the site of yearly focused programs of study, including workshops, seminars and associated special topics courses. For this purpose, the University is designing and constructing a dedicated facility to be located in Jadwin Hall, site of the Physics Department, in the middle of the University Science Quarter. Within a few hundred feet are the Biology, Geology, Astrophysical Sciences Departments, the Lewis-Sigler Center for Integrative Genomics, the new Lewis Science Library, and the planned location for the Chemistry Department, all of which will be involved in Center activities.
