Two postdoctoral fellowships (2y) in combining philosophy of mind with psychology, linguistics, psychiatry, neurosciences, or AI, Bochum (Germany), Deadline: 31 Jan 2021

Call: Two Research Postdoc-Fellowships for 2 Years

Concerning Projects in Interdisciplinary Philosophy

Combining Philosophy of Mind or Cognition with Psychology, Linguistics, 
Psychiatry, Neurosciences or AI

at Institute for Philosophy II, Ruhr-University Bochum

Ruhr-University Bochum (RUB) is one of Germany?s leading research 
universities. The University draws its strength from both the diversity 
and the proximity of humanities, natural sciences and engineering 
disciplines on a single, coherent campus. This highly dynamic setting 
enables students and researchers to work across traditional boundaries of 
academic subjects and faculties.

We are searching for outstanding advanced postdocs which ideally already 
have an experience of two years as a postdoc and want to continue further 
two years within a framework focusing on research only. The philosophical 
project should fit into the framework of ?NeuroMind? which demands an 
interdisciplinary nature of the project with a convincing relation to 
neurosciences.

We aim to install an outstanding group of postdocs starting between 1st of 
March and 1st of July 2021) which are closely attached to the research 
focus ?NeuroMind?.

Applicants should have an outstanding PhD in philosophy and already 
published/accepted at least five articles in peer-reviewed journals. The 
postdoc position is offering a focus on research only (no teaching or 
administration) and expects the candidates to submit a proposal for a 
prestigious grant (ERC starting grant, Emmy-Noether, Freigeist, etc.) 
during the postdoc period. The selection will be done with the criterion 
that this is a realistic goal for the candidate.

The candidates will be associated with a professorship in philosophy at 
the Institut of Philosophy II. This includes support for any 
administrative activities that need to be done to implement and foster the 
activities of the postdocs, e.g. if the postdoc wants to organize one 
small workshop to foster his/her project, then this would be 
administratively supported. We offer an inspiring environment at the 
Institut of Philosophy II with strong international bounds to outstanding 
institutions in the world. We have many and regular guests and exchanges, 
going on even under Corona conditions.

The fellowship will be a monthly grant of 2.300 Euro for 24 months 
(upgrade in individual cases possible). We offer additional support to 
deliver talks at a workshop or conference during the postdoc period and to 
organize a small workshop on the own research topic at Ruhr-University 
Bochum.

Application Documents (we only accept electronic applications): Please 
send your application to sekretariat-newen@rub.de

Your application should consist of three PDF files. The first one is to 
include your personal documents: an outline of your own planned research 
project of max. 1 page (excluding references), CV, copies of certificates 
and records, list of your publications, talks, conferences you attended 
and courses you held; names of 2 referees. The other PDF files to be 
attached should be your best two publications (must have been published or 
accepted, if accepted but not published then add the letter of acceptance 
of the journal).
