Job description

TWO POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS IN ANTWERP AND SALZBURG FOR WORK ON IMAGISTIC COGNITION

Applications are invited for two full-time postdoctoral fellowships to work on the project “The Puzzle of Imagistic Cognition”.  The project is supported by the Austrian FWF and the Belgian FWO.  The principal investigators are Christopher Gauker (Salzburg) and Bence Nanay (Antwerp).  One of the recipients will start in Salzburg and one will start in Antwerp, but each of the recipients will spend part of the duration of the post-doc in Salzburg and part in Antwerp.  The start date in Antwerp is September 1, 2020, and the start date in Salzburg is October 1, 2020, but in both cases the start date can be negotiated.  The duration of the post-docs will be between 19 and 24 months.

For a general description of the aims of the project, see the project website:http://www.christophergauker.sbg.ac.at/PuzzleImagisticCognition.html

Applicants need not have done work directly on the topic of imagistic cognition.  However, candidates who have worked on related topics in philosophy of mind and empirically-oriented philosophy of psychology are especially encouraged to apply.  The recipient must have earned a doctorate or Ph.D. in philosophy at least one month before the start date.  There is no restriction on nationality, but the recipient will have to obtain the appropriate visas.  High-level English language skills are expected, but neither Dutch nor German is required.

Salary will be competitive for postdoctoral fellowships in philosophy.  In Belgium the recipient will pay a modest amount for health insurance; in Austria health insurance is provided for in the employment contract.  Details are available upon request.

The recipients will be expected to do research on and publish and present papers on the topic of the project, collaborate with other project participants, help with the organization of a workshop in Salzburg, help to create and maintain the project website, and generally participate in the intellectual life of the Antwerp and Salzburg philosophy departments (through attendance at colloquia, etc.)  At each location the recipient will be provided with workspace in the vicinity of co-workers.  Long-distance commutes cannot be allowed.

Women and members of underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply.  Given equal qualifications, female candidates and members of underrepresented groups will be preferred.
