Two postdoctoral fellowships in philosophy of reasoning / physics, decision theory, epistemology, Munich (Germany)

Deadline: Sunday 30 October 2016

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.
