Thirteen PhD Positions in Contradiction Studies at the University of Bremen

Deadline: 29 Nov 2024

The Research Training Group "Contradiction Studies—Constellations, Heuristics and Concepts of the Contradictory" at the University of Bremen is welcoming applications for 13 3-year positions as Doctoral Candidates.

This interdisciplinary group examines the ways in which individuals, groups, institutions, and states navigate the concept of contradiction, particularly in relation to the prevalent demand for consistency (freedom from contradiction). It aims to develop novel forms and procedures for addressing the inherent contradictions of living together. (Philosophers should note that it not only studies logical contradictions, but also a broad range of other types of contradictions.)

Members of the group are expected to complete their dissertation over the course of the term. They are expected to participate in the modularized doctoral program and in the group's research colloquium. The working language of the program is generally English. The positions carry no teaching obligation and are 75% positions paid on a TV-L 13 basis (which translates to a net pay of at least 26.500€/year). Deadline for application is Nov 29, the positions are expected to begin on June 1, 2025.
