Job description |
Applications are invited for up to two four-year doctoral position(s) in medieval philosophy, starting 1 September 2024. The relevant positions are funded by the European Research Council (ERC), through the Truth in Ancient and Medieval Philosophy (TAMP) project, directed by Tamer Nawar and based at the University of Barcelona. This project will offer the first focused and systematic examination of philosophical conceptions of truth in ancient and medieval philosophy. It will examine the origins, motivations, and challenges faced by conceptions of truth in this period and how these challenges led to the development of alternative theories of truth. By holistically examining both ‘major’ and ‘minor’ figures and texts in this period and combining metaphysical approaches to truth (focusing on issues such as facts, correspondence, etc.) with logical and semantic approaches (focusing on issues such as semantic paradoxes) this project will offer us a better understanding of a central philosophical issue across the Greek, Arabic, and Latin traditions and greater insight into an extremely rich but often neglected period of philosophy. The PhD’s primary responsibility will be to perform research on the development of theories of truth developed in the Latin Middle Ages and how such theories responded to certain philosophical problems culminating in a PhD dissertation on the relevant topic(s). The PhD will be supervised by the principal investigator of the TAMP project, Tamer Nawar. It is envisioned that these PhD projects will examine philosophical accounts of truth in the earlier Latin Middle Ages up to and including the thirteenth century. Applicants will be asked to submit the following documents:
