University of Chicago: 1 year research postdoctoral fellowship for German philosophy (philosophical logic explicitly mentioned)
Mellon Post-Doc/Philosophy & Germanic Studies
UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, Chicago, IL. The University of Chicago
Departments of Philosophy and Germanic Studies are now accepting
applications for a one-year post-doctoral fellowship for the academic
year 2006-2007. We are interested in applicants whose interests fall
somewhere within the range of German philosophical and/or literary
thought from the early 1750s (and the pre-critical Kant) to the early
1950s (and the publication of Wittgenstein's Philosophical
Investigations). Applicants in Philosophy whose expertise is largely
confined to a single historical period (e.g., German Idealism), area
(e.g., philosophy of logic), or figure (e.g., Wittgenstein) are welcome;
applicants in Literature or Germanic Studies whose expertise is focused
on a single historical period (e.g., German Romanticism), topic (e.g.,
literary hermeneutics), or figure (e.g., Goethe) are also welcome. The
primary responsibility of the post-doctoral fellow will be to
participate in a year-long interdisciplinary research seminar on German
philosophy and related developments in the history of German literature.
Applications (including writing samples) are due by January 2, 2006, to:
Professor James Conant, re: Sawyer Seminar Post-Doc, Department of
Philosophy, University of Chicago, 1115 E. 58th St., Chicago, IL 60637.
