Two postdoctoral positions in Philosophy of Mathematics (2y), Munich (Germany), Deadline: 18 Jan 2015

Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich is seeking applications for

   Two Postdoctoral Positions in Philosophy of Mathematics
   (for two years)

at the Chair of Logic and Philosophy of Language (Professor Hannes 
Leitgeb) and the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy (MCMP) at the 
Faculty of Philosophy, Philosophy of Science and Study of Religion. The 
positions, which are to start from April 1st 2015, are for two years.

One of the two positions is a full-time position that will be devoted to 
the topic "Mathematical Structuralism". The other one is a half-time (50%) 
position that will be devoted to the topic "Theoretical Terms in Science 
vs. Mathematical Terms". Both positions belong to an ANR-DFG project on 
"Mathematics: Objectivity by Representation". More about the project can 
be found at <https://sites.google.com/site/mathobre/>.

Each appointee will be expected to do philosophical research in the 
respective project area and to participate in the organisation of the 
project. Each successful candidate will have a PhD in philosophy or logic.

Women are currently underrepresented in the Faculty, therefore we 
particularly welcome applications for this post from suitably qualified 
female candidates. Furthermore, given equal qualification, severely 
physically challenged individuals will be preferred.

Applications (including CV, certificates, list of publications, list of 
courses taught, one writing sample, a description of a planned research 
project of max. 3 pages) should be sent either by email (ideally within 
one PDF document) or by mail to
