Two postdoctoral fellowships in philosophy of reasoning / physics, decision theory, epistemology, Munich (Germany), Deadline: 30 Oct 2016

Postdoctoral fellowship at the MCMP (LMU Munich)
http://www.mcmp.philosophie.uni-muenchen.de/news/post_doc_20160926/index.html

The Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy (MCMP) seeks applications for two 
1-year postdoctoral fellowships starting sometime between April 1, 2017 and 
October 1, 2017. (A later starting date is not possible.) We are especially 
interested in candidates who work on one or more of the following topics: 
philosophy and psychology of reasoning and argumentation, Bayesian 
epistemology, Bayesian philosophy of science, philosophy of physics (esp. the 
foundations of quantum statistical mechanics), and collective decision theory. 
The successful candidates are expected to submit a research proposal (e.g. for 
the DFG) with the MCMP as the host institution within four months after 
starting the fellowship. Some teaching is possible, but not required.

The position is open for candidates with a PhD in economics, philosophy, 
psychology or physics. Candidates who have not finished their PhD at the time 
of the application deadline have to provide evidence that they have their PhD 
at the time the fellowship starts. Applications (including a cover letter that 
addresses, amongst others, one's academic background, research interests and 
the proposed starting date, a CV, a list of publications, a sample of written 
work of no more than 5000 words, and a description of a planned research 
project of about 1000 words) should be sent by email (ideally everything 
requested in one PDF document) to office.hartmann@lrz.uni-muenchen.de by 
October 30, 2016. Hard copy applications are not accepted. Additionally, two 
confidential letters of reference addressing the applicant's qualifications for 
academic research should be sent to the same email address from the referees 
directly.

The MCMP hosts a vibrant research community of faculty, postdoctoral fellows, 
doctoral fellows, master students, and visiting fellows. It organizes at least 
two weekly colloquia and a weekly internal work in-progress seminar, as well as 
various other activities such as workshops, conferences, summer schools, and 
reading groups. The successful candidates will partake in the MCMP's academic 
activities and enjoy its administrative facilities and support. The official 
language at the MCMP is English and fluency in German is not mandatory.

We especially encourage female scholars to apply. The LMU in general, and the 
MCMP in particular, endeavor to raise the percentage of women among its 
academic personnel. Furthermore, given equal qualification, preference will be 
given to candidates with disabilities.

For further information, please contact Prof. Stephan Hartmann 
(s.hartmann@lmu.de).
