Directeur de Recherche: Philosophy of Social Sciences, epistemic conditions of coordination (Paris, France)

DIRECTEUR DE RECHERCHE
Philosophy of Social Sciences
CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique), France

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

This message is to inform you about a job opportunity in the domain of
Philosophy of Social Sciences. The I.H.P.S.T. is ready to support the
application of suitable candidates in the process, and to incorporate the
elected person.

The profile is: Strategic Interaction and Collective Norms It would be
suitable for a confirmed scholar, dedicated to the following topics:
epistemic conditions of coordination (common knowledge a.s.o.), emergence
of norms (as studied in evolutionary game theory), normative economics.
Competence in decision theory, game theory and formal tools of economic
modelization is required. Suitable candidates ought to be willing to work
in a philosophical research environment.

The job is a permanent senior research position ("Research Director") at
CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, France). For most
purposes, the position is on a par with full university professorship and
it involves no compulsory teaching (although it is compatible with some
teaching at intermediate or advanced level). Fluency in French language is
of course warmly wished, but not really compulsory given the nature of the
position (research, not teaching).

The interest of the I.H.P.S.T. (which is a common venture of CNRS, Paris-1
University and Ecole Normale Suprieure) for this announcement comes from
our increasing emphasis on the philosophy and methodology of social
science, exemplified by our recent involvement in the elaboration of a
"Research Training Network" proposition to the European Commission (with
various teams in mathematics, economics, biology, psychology and
philosophy) on the theme "Information, strategy, and decision". Other
relevant fields of research at the IHPST are modelization of bounded
rationality and interface between logic and game theory.

Please don't hesitate to contact me if this opportunity can be of interest
to one of your colleagues.

Sincerely yours, JD

  Jacques Dubucs
