Postdoctoral position (2+2y) in "Coordination, Collective Goal and Cooperation", Milan (Italy)

The Department of Philosophy and the Centre for the Study of Social Action (CSSA) at the University of Milan are delighted to announce the opening of a post-doctoral position on "Acting Together: Coordination, Collective Goal, and Cooperation". The project is jointly led by Professors Hykel Hosni and Corrado Sinigaglia and spans formal and experimental methods, with particular emphasis on minimalist approaches to coordination, shared agency, and cooperation.

The appointment will be made initially for two years and it will be renewed for another two years subject to funding. The postdoctoral fellow will be a member of the Center for the Study of Social Action and will participate in the wider research community of the Department of Philosophy, the second largest in the country. While the postdoctoral fellow will pursue sound philosophical research, the project is ideally suited to interdisciplinary collaboration with cognitive scientists, economists and mathematical and computational logicians; there will be opportunities for such collaboration in connection with Professors Sinigaglia and Hosni's ongoing scientific research on acting together.

The deadline for application is April 26th 2016. For more information, see http://www.cssa.unimi.it/?page_id=230. We welcome informal inquires on the nature of project and the application procedure.
