University of Groningen: Assistant Professor in Theoretical Philosophy

The position is in the Department of Theoretical Philosophy and includes research (40%) as well as teaching and some administrative tasks (60%). We are particularly interested in candidates who have a strong affinity with science and technology studies, the social organization of science, and/or the science-policy interface. Ideally the research of the candidate can complement and strengthen the existing research profile of the Department of Theoretical Philosophy, and contribute to the lively intellectual life of the faculty as a whole. The candidate will be expected to teach in the philosophy programme on both BA and MA level, including the MA programme on Philosophy, Politics, and Economics. Additionally the candidate may be asked to provide philosophy of science courses to programmes outside the Faculty of Philosophy, in the natural, life, and social sciences.
