Assistant Professorship in Philosophy of Science, Tilburg (The Netherlands), Deadline: 22 Apr 2016

Assistant Professor, Philosophy of Science, Tilburg University

The philosophy department at Tilburg University (The Netherlands) seeks to 
appoint an outstanding candidate in philosophy of science, starting August 
1, 2016. The successful candidate will hold a PhD in philosophy with a 
research specialization in philosophy of science. He/she will have a track 
record of publications in leading international journals or show the 
capability of developing such a record early in his or her career. The 
successful candidate is expected to apply regularly for external research 
funding.

Experience of teaching at university level is necessary. An ability to 
teach other subjects besides philosophy of science, such as logic and 
history of modern philosophy, is highly desirable. A significant 
proportion of the courses to teach is service teaching in the Tilburg 
School of Economics and Management, and the Tilburg School of Social and 
Behavioral Sciences. The candidate will therefore have to demonstrate an 
aptitude for teaching philosophy to students with little or no background 
in philosophy.

The department of philosophy at Tilburg University is an internationally 
oriented and pluralist department whose core research strength is in the 
Tilburg Center for Logic, Ethics and Philosophy of Science (TiLPS). The 
successful candidate would become a member of TiLPS and be expected to 
contribute to the center?s activities. A second group, Philosophy of Man 
and Society, aims both at highly ranked scientific publications and at a 
fruitful dialogue between philosophy and society. Taking as its starting 
point the motto of Tilburg University: ?Understanding Society?, 
philosophical research at Tilburg is often done in an interdisciplinary 
framework.

Given that Tilburg School of Humanities aims to increase the proportion of 
female employees, applications from women are particularly welcome.

For inquiries about the position, please contact the Head of the 
Department of Philosophy, Dr. Frans van Peperstraten at 
f.t.vpeperstraten@tilburguniversity.edu

The candidate should submit the following documents and merge them into 
one pdf file: a letter of motivation, a CV, a brief teaching dossier, a 
one page outline of his/her research plans, a recent research publication, 
and the names and contact information for two referees.

The deadline for applications is April, 22, 2016. Shortlisted candidates 
will be informed by April, 30. Interviews and test classes will be held at 
some day in May. Decisions will be announced shortly thereafter.
