The University of Glasgow has a vacancy for a postdoc to participate in our project, The Nature of Pain: Hedonic Tone, Motivation, and Non-Human Animals.

The project is based in the Philosophy Department (School of Humanities). Its PIs are:

Dr David Bain:  [email protected]

Dr Michael Brady:  [email protected]

Running from 1 January 2012 to 30 June 2013, this interdisciplinary project, funded by the John Templeton Foundation, will involve three workshops, a final conference, and various research outputs. The wider team includes philosophers, psychologists, neuro- and veterinary scientists. The post is full-time and the post holder will (i) help administer the project, in particular playing a central role in organising the workshops and conference; (ii) conduct his or her own research on the project’s themes; and (iii) undertake a small amount of undergraduate teaching in philosophy.

Closing date for applications: 25 November 2011. Informal enquiries may be directed to either of the PIs.
