PhD student fellowships in "Philosophy, Science and the Sciences", Berlin (Germany)

The Research Training Group 'Philosophy, Science and the Sciences' at the Humboldt-Universitaet zu Berlin is pleased to offer a number of fellowships for doctoral studies in Ancient Philosophy and Science. The overarching aim of the program is to study the dialogue between different forms and models of knowledge in ancient Greek, Roman and Arabic philosophy and science (including its medieval and early modern reception). It brings together philosophers, classicists, Arabists and historians of science. We are interested in hosting doctoral projects in any of these fields which relate in some way to our overarching aim. We do not expect doctoral students to deal with more than one special science and are open to many different kinds of connections between philosophy and science.

Apply by 9 June 2014 for the three-year doctoral program or one year of pre-doctoral studies to begin in October 2014. For more information, see http://www.gsap.hu-berlin.de/application or email irma.handwerker at hu-berlin.de.
