PRIMARY DETAIL
• Salary Package: Level A from $76,173 to $102,570 per annum, plus 17% employer’s superannuation and annual leave loading THE ROLE The Department of Philosophy, Macquarie University is seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Associate to work with Associate Professor Mark Alfano on an interdisciplinary epistemology project that addresses both the structure of epistemic networks and the dispositions of the agents in them. The main objectives of this project are to identify the dispositions needed to cope with the imperfect networks in which we live, and to hypothesize ways to improve the given prevalent epistemic dispositions in contemporary human populations. The research will involve philosophical reflection, analysis of real and simulated network structures, and semantic analysis of (among other things) misinformation and propaganda. The outcome will be multiple interdisciplinary research articles to be published in peer-reviewed journals. About Us Macquarie is a university engaged with the real and often complex problems and opportunities that define our lives. Since our foundation 57 years ago, we have aspired to be a different type of university. Over the years, we’ve grown to become the centre of a vibrant local and global community.
