Professor Rowbottom is now seeking One to Three Postdoctoral Fellows to join the project team over the course of two to three years. Details on the project, which involves scientists working with philosophers, can be found at www.pocfs.org. We are especially interested in candidates whose work connects with the natural sciences, and especially with recent developments therein (such as increased interdisciplinarity and the involvement of AI). However, we are open to considering other applicants with excellent research records and a clear, well-articulated, vision of how they can contribute to the project. The appointee will work as part of the team headed by Professor Rowbottom. This will involve: (1) carrying out collaborative research (including with scientists); (2) authorship and co-authorship of papers suitable for publication in leading journals; (3) authorship and submission of derivative grant proposals to funding bodies; (4) organizing seminars, reading groups, workshops and other related research activities; (5) teaching occasional courses at undergraduate or postgraduate levels; (6) performing occasional outreach activities (such as lectures aimed at the general public); and (7) managing/updating the project website. The teaching load will be one or two courses per year, distributed according to the departmental needs and upon mutual agreement. English will be the language of instruction. Fringe benefits include annual leave, medical and dental benefits, mandatory provident fund, and incoming passage and baggage allowance (where appropriate). Appointments will normally be made on a contractual basis for two to three years. Suitably qualified applicants may be appointed with the functional title and role of ‘Research Assistant Professor’. Start date is flexible, from January 2024 onwards. Contract duration will be from two to three years.
