Postdoc in analytic philosophy of language at the University of Tartu (EXPIRED)

The Estonian Ministry of Education and the Estonian Science Foundation will offer new research positions commencing in 2012 (start date no later than January 1, 2013) through its "Mobilitas" scheme. The purpose of the scheme is to develop and diversify Estonian research potential through scientific mobility and exchange of experience, and thereby to activate international exchange of knowledge, and support the development of careers of young researchers. Positions will be awarded on a competitive basis and will be full time for two or three years.

The Department of Philosophy of the University of Tartu welcomes expressions of interest from early career researchers (PhD awarded not earlier than 2007) interested in applying through our research project "Communication in Context". The project covers a wide variety of topics related to theories of reference, meaning and communication, and is part of an international EUROCORES project.

For remuneration and taxes payable thereon postdoctoral researchers will be paid 25.600 EUR per year. To cover research costs, a budget of 3.200 EUR will be paid per year in non-experimental science disciplines.

The relocation allowance will be paid to the postdoctoral researchers who have not resided or worked (incl. studied) in Estonia during the period period 29 March 2011 – 28 March 2012.
