Job description

With more than 6,300 employees in research, teaching and administration and its unique profile, TU Dortmund University shapes prospects for the future: the cooperation between engineering and natural sciences as well as social and cultural studies promotes both technological innovations and progress in knowledge and methodology. And it is not only the more than 34,500 students who benefit from that. 

The Faculty of Humanities and Theology comprises the Departments of Catholic Theology and Protestant Theology as well as a joint Department of Philosophy and Political Science. There is an interdisciplinary focus on teaching and research in the field of "Religion and Politics" with special emphasis on philosophical references.

The newly established, DFG funded Emmy Noether Junior Research Group UDNN: Scientific Understanding and Deep Neural Networks (head: Dr. Florian J. Boge) invites applications for one postdoctoral position at the Department of Philosophy and Political Science in the Faculty of Humanities and Theology for a period of three years. The initial employment can start at the earliest possible date. According to the public tariff regulations, the salary is based on the tariff group E13 TV-L with 100 % of the regular work time, the in-principal possibility of part-time employment is, however, given.

What We Expect

  • An excellent PhD degree in Philosophy;
  • additional experience in either a natural science, mathematics, or computer science;
  • excellent command of the English language;
  • international experience through studies abroad, research stays, or prior employment in an international research environment is an asset;
  • good command of German is desirable but not required.

Your Responsibilities

  • Cooperate with researchers outside of philosophy, specifically physics and theoretical biology;
  • support the project through research related work, including participation in (the organization of) workshops, public science events, as well as online seminars;
  • produce internationally visible, high-quality publications;
  • present your work in international conferences and workshops.

What We Offer

  • A top-class research environment within an international network;
  • the opportunity for further academic qualification;
  • the opportunity for personal development through the active support of further education and training.

We explicitly note that applications of all sexes are welcome. Applications from women are favored complying with legal regulation. We also underline that applications of severely disabled persons are welcome.
