Senior Fellowship in Neurophilosophy, Bochum (Germany), Deadline: 10 Jul 2011
We are pleased to announce an international call for fellowships for the

We are flexible concerning the exact visiting period.
The fellow will be affiliated with the following units at the Ruhr
University Bochum:

Applicants must hold a doctoral degree and are expected to work at least on
the level of an associate or advanced assistant professor. They must have an
outstanding publication record in the area of philosophy of mind and
language and/or epistemology with a strong connection to the cognitive and
neuro-sciences. Some familiarity with EEG methods is desirable. The
successful applicant will be expected to take part in designing (and
eventually conducting) a cooperative EEG study on a research question of
relevance for the philosophy of mind and language and/or epistemology. For
this purpose (s)he will be given access to a 64-channel high-end EEG system
and supported by local research staff. The research proposal should outline
the neuro-philosophical dimension of the project and explain how his/her
philosophical inquiries could be advanced with EEG methods.
