Applications are invited for a position emerging from The Academy of Finland funded 4-year project, ‘The Epistemology of Metaphysics: From Rationalism to Nominalism’, based at the University of Helsinki, Finland. The position is a 2-year Postdoc starting on 1st September 2015. The working language of the research group is English. The project is led by Dr. Tuomas E. Tahko and also involves another Postdoc (Dr. Markku Keinänen). A PhD student will be hired with a separate ad. The project is divided into three Research Clusters, (RCs): RC 1 Modal Epistemology Postdoctoral Researcher The Postdoc is expected to work primarily on RC 3. A likely candidate will have written a PhD thesis on grounding or fundamentality, although a candidate with partly overlapping expertise in RC 1 and RC 2 in addition to formal ontology would also be viable. There is some flexibility in the exact research area of the Postdoc, but it should have a clear bearing on the project’s central themes, preferably evidenced by previous publications. The Postdoc is expected to teach one course per year in her/his speciality (in English or Finnish), publish in high quality journals and/or anthologies and present work at international conferences. Candidates must have a PhD degree in philosophy (the degree has to be officially awarded before the starting date).

Salary is expected to be at level 5/5, currently 41 621 Euros gross p.a., with yearly increments possible. In addition, funds are available for research expenses, including extended visits abroad. |
