Postdoctoral Fellowships in Philosophy of Mind at the University of Antwerp
Applications are invited for two postdoctoral fellowships at the University
of Antwerp. The postdoc will be part of Bence Nanay¹s research group (funded
by FWO, FP7 CIG and BOF UA) and will work with Professor Nanay. The length
of the fellowship is one year, not extendable. The pay is (for US and UK
standards) very generous. Postdoctoral researchers in Belgium are public
employees with very generous benefits. The research group has five postdocs
at the moment.
There are no teaching obligations. This postdoctoral fellowship, unlike some
previous ones advertised, is on a very specific topic: on naturalising
perceptual content in the sender-receiver games framework. The postdoctoral
researchers is expected to work on joint projects with Professor Nanay that
are related to this topic.
Background in the empirical sciences is an advantage. Candidates are
encouraged to email ***@berkeley.edu if they have doubts about whether
their profile matches this call. Candidates must have a PhD degree in
philosophy (PhD has to be officially awarded before the staring date, which
is December 1st, 2016).
In the light of recent findings on implicit bias, the candidates are asked
to send their application material fully anonymized: Please send an
anonymized cv, an anonymized max 5000 word writing sample and an anonymized
max 1-page outline of what joint papers/projects the candidate envisages to
write/have with Professor Nanay to ***@berkeley.edu
<mailto:***@berkeley.edu> and have two letters of reference (which
obviously shouldn't be anonymized) sent to the same email address. Please
write Postdoc: Phil Mind¹ in the subject line of any email sent.
Deadline: September 15, 2016
Starting date of the position: December 1, 2016 (not negotiable)
