W3 professorship in epistemology and philosophy of science, Freiburg (Germany), Deadline: 30 Apr 2020
UNIVERSITÄT FREIBURG - W3 Epistemology and Theory of Science (Verlängerung
der Frist!) - Frist: 30.04.2020
The University invites applications for a Full Professorship (W3) for
Epistemology and Theory of Science This professorship is also particularly
suitable for highly qualified early career researchers. Fulltime position,
Start-date: At the earliest possible date. The University expects an
excellent international academic record in (Historical) Epistemology,
Philosophy of Science and/or Theory of Science. More specifically,
candidates should demonstrate, in research and teaching, a historical and
comparative perspective on epistemology and methodology, and on the
societal and cultural conditions and implications of knowledge and science
(understood in the broad sense of ?Wissenschaft?). The University of
Freiburg has successfully established the interdisciplinary four-year
?Liberal Arts and Sciences? (LAS) Bachelor Program for a total of 320
students within the institutional framework of University College Freiburg
(UCF). The development of a research program in the area of epi stemology
and theory of science is at the discretion of the position holder.
Interdisciplinary research profiles that link to one of the LAS Majors and
to empirical research fields at the University will be favored (e.g.
Environmental Sciences, Life Sciences, Economics). Research cooperations
between the humanities and natural sciences could, for example, contribute
to fields such as ?Environmental Humanities? or ?Medical Humanities? or to
research consortia such as the Clusters of Excellence. Particularly
desirable are research interests that resonate with the STS professorship
at UCF and support the existing cooperation with the Freiburg Institute of
Advanced Studies. A research focus that considers interdisciplinarity
(e.g. understandings of models, experiments, observations, concepts,
representations, instruments, or methods that cross disciplinary
boundaries) and/or a broad approach towards ?Reflections on Science and
Knowledge? are welcome. The professorship?s teaching responsibilities will
focus on the LAS Program, especially on epistemology and philosophy,
theory, and history of science and knowledge. Courses offered by the
professorship are mainly situated in the LAS Core curriculum. In addition,
teaching in the four LAS Majors and in other programs is possible. A
priority of UCF, within a cross-departmental curriculum initiative, is the
co-development of courses offering ?Reflections on Science and Knowledge?
to students of various study programs at the University of Freiburg. The
LAS Program?s novelty for German higher education refers not only to its
comprehensive interdisciplinarity, but also to the innovative teaching
contexts and methods. Therefore, in addition to an excellent and
international teaching record, a passion for teaching and proven interest
and experience in interdisciplinary and innovative approaches to higher
education, ideally in a Liberal Arts and Sciences context, are required.
Professors at UCF are responsible for UCF leadership and for the further
development of the LAS program and of UCF. As the LAS Program is
English-taught, excellent English proficiency in teaching and research is
required. The official language of the University is German. Non-native
German speakers are expected to learn German within three years.
Prerequisites for the employment of Professors are a university degree, an
outstanding dissertation and an excellent publication record. Substantial
achievements and experience in academic research and teaching, at the
level of a Habilitation according to the German academic system, are
expected. The following application documents are to be submitted:
