A secondary aim is to examine representations of evolution in the context of pedagogy and science communication. “Biological evolution” is taken to include the process of descent with modification that Darwin first described; the mechanisms that drive evolutionary process such as natural selection; and the products to which the process has given rise, such as organic adaptation and diversity. Scientists have constructed representations of each of these elements in their quest to understand how evolution works. This project will offer a systematic study of these representations, the concepts from which they are built, and the associated inferences, from an overarching philosophical perspective.

Applications are invited from candidates with an interest in the project’s research questions who wish to pursue postdoctoral research in Philosophy, with a focus on philosophical issues to do with evolution. Applicants should have a background in philosophy of science, philosophy of biology, evolutionary biology, cognitive psychology, or a related field.

The Department of Philosophy, Linguistics and Theory of Science (FLoV) at the Faculty of Humanities has around 100 employees and a teaching volume of about 350 full-year students. It hosts several major international research projects, and educates philosophers, linguists, language technologists, theorists of science, and teachers in philosophy on undergraduate, advanced, and graduate levels.

Like most Swedish philosophy Departments, we distinguish between practical and theoretical philosophy, with courses taught separately and given separate degrees. Theoretical philosophy is usually taken to comprise at least the following subjects: epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of language, and philosophy of mind. In Gothenburg, most of these areas are represented in the research we do.

Specific subject description

Theoretical philosophy

Theoretical Philosophy examines the nature of mind and (external) reality, our scientific and everyday knowledge of that reality, as well as different ways of representing, and reasoning with, that knowledge in language and thought. Research within Theoretical Philosophy at the University of Gothenburg covers more or less all of these areas.  For more information about our subject, supervisor-capacities, etc., please visit our webpage here, or contact professor Anna-Sofia Maurin (contact details, below). Please note that the research done at this Department is in analytical philosophy.

Duties     

Education at third-cycle level comprises four years of full-time study, and leads to a doctoral degree.    

The successful candidate’s main responsibilities will be to write a doctoral dissertation, and to complete obligatory courses. As part of your employment as a doctoral student, you may have departmental duties corresponding to up to 20 % of full-time employment, distributed throughout your study period.

The successful candidate is expected to spend their time primarily in Gothenburg and to regularly participate in departmental activities, especially the weekly research seminar in theoretical philosophy.

General information about being a doctoral student at the University of Gothenburg can be found here, on the university's doctoral student pages.

Initial employment as a doctoral student may apply for a maximum of one year, and may be renewed by a maximum of two years at a time. A doctoral student may be employed as a doctoral student for a maximum of eight years, but the total period of employment may not be longer than the equivalent of full-time education at third-cycle level for four years. Apart from his or her own third-cycle education, the successful applicant may also be expected to do service in education, research (unrelated to the thesis) and administration. These types of services are grounds for prolongation over four years. The provisions for employment as a doctoral student can be found in ordinance SFS 1993:100.

Our efforts to live fully into these values will mean that enhancing the Environmental Studies Program will be central to our next strategic plan. In this light, the Environmental Studies Program at Carleton College invites applications for a program director and tenured professor in Environmental Justice to begin September 1, 2024.

AY 2024-2025 Theme: Religion and Democracy

The Center for Philosophy of Religion at the University of Notre Dame is offering up to 4 residential fellowships during the 2024 – 2025 academic year for projects on the theme of “Religion and Democracy”. Fellows will pursue independent research while interacting with leading scholars in philosophy and theology during a year in residence at Notre Dame’s Center for Philosophy of Religion.

We are very excited to announce that one additional residential fellowship has been awarded to Kristin Kobes Du Mez, who will be joining us for the 2024-2025 discussions.

This fellowship program is open to both recent Ph.D.'s and established scholars.  The Center typically funds scholars in philosophy and theology; but we have occasionally funded researchers in other humanities disciplines, and we are especially open to a broader interdisciplinary community for the 2024 – 2025 academic year.  Our weekly works-in-progress group is primarily attended by our visiting fellows and local faculty and graduate students in philosophy, and our priority will be to fund projects on the 2024 – 2025 research theme that can be productively engaged in that context.  

Successful applicants who have recently received their Ph.D. will be appointed as postdoctoral fellows, funded at $80,000 plus benefits. Established scholars will need to request leave from their home institutions in order to accept the fellowship; we ask that you verify that the amount of funding required by your home institution for such an arrangement is less than or equal to $80,000 before applying.

For the 2024-2025 academic year we are especially interested in projects that investigate the relationship between religion and democracy; however, proposals that relate indirectly will also be considered.

Adjacent research questions may explore, for example:

• Theistic political philosophy, or relationships between religion and politics
• Ethical and historical issues concerning voting and representation, public discourse and freedom of speech, or the role of social media in religious and political conversation and debate
• Topics at the intersection of the history of religion and politics, philosophy of religion, political philosophy, and feminist philosophy or philosophy of gender
• Cultural attitudes toward religion and democracy

The deadline for initial applications is December 31, 2023. Selected applicants will be invited to submit a full application by February 15, 2024. Fellowships begin in August 2024 and conclude in May 2025.

The teaching will likely involve running a senior thesis seminar rather than teaching a traditional course, subject to approval of Princeton’s Dean of the Faculty.  The postdoc will be expected to participate in a year-long research seminar for visiting fellows and Center faculty, as well as a year-long seminar for the Center’s cohort of Postdoctoral Associates. (Each of these seminars meets roughly every other week.)  The postdoc will also be expected to regularly attend some of the talks, panels, and conferences sponsored by the Center.

Applications will be evaluated on the basis of the applicant’s previous accomplishments and the promise of the proposed research project in Political Theory.

Solmsen Fellowships are to be awarded to scholars working in the humanities on European history, literature, philosophy, politics, religion, art and culture in the classical, medieval, and/or early modern periods (before 1700). Projects on the relationship of pre-1700 Europe to other parts of the world are also welcome.

During the first half of the 19th Century, a Lyceum Movement occurred across the United States, creating approximately 5000 Lyceums from coast to coast. Lyceum-Gardens intends to restart this movement by providing guidance and instructions to those wishing to sit down and discuss the world in reasoned and polite ways. We have conducted over 100 discussions outside our new gardens to very high praise.

The constant comment from those discussions was there is no other opportunity for people to meet and have philosophical discussions as we held in Washington, DC. Based on this, we are developing a garden and philosophical guide and will take other steps to advocate for and assist with developing Lyceums of intelligent discussion spaces. Our premise is that everyone is a philosopher, and we only need a receptive forum for people to express themselves away from the satellite-type one-way broadcasts of our digital world. Our discussions provide feedback and questions in real-time instead of the anonymous environment of bits and bites.

This is the start of this organization with very grand expansion plans. For now, we are nascent, unorganized, and unprofessional, all of which we seek help to cure. 

We seek advice, consultation, and editing of our plans and the development of a book and associated publications, events, and speaking engagements intended to restart this as a trend.  The American people craved philosophy in the first half of the 19th Century and now need it more than ever two centuries later.

Our initial guidelines are from ARISTOTLE, holding Plato as an example and practice. Our approach will draw on pragmatism, Buddhism, and anything we deem to help our audience. We intend to be a school but will not award certificates like the current education system.  The rewards our members seek are profit and income based on the quality of how they continue to spread philosophy.  We have methods we will implement toward that end.

You may think you have heard of something like this, but I claim you have not, and please prove me wrong.  I do not seek compliments; I know this is a good idea; I seek useful criticism, astute observations, and expected philosopher skills similar to those of yesteryear.

Navigating (Living) Philosophy

This series invites seasoned philosophers to share critical reflections on emergent and institutionalized shapes of and encounters within philosophy. The series collects experience-based explorations of philosophy’s personal, institutional, and disciplinary evolution that will also help young academics and students navigate philosophy today.

Reports from Abroad

This series questions and complicates what ‘reporting from abroad’ can mean in a globalized world that faces interconnected and local crises alongside forces grappling with how to liberate our beings from oppressive structures rooted in past and present (neo)colonialism and imperialism. We can take this as a chance to collectively and constructively consider both broader and different conceptions of philosophy than those more widely studied within USA institutions and culture—and the conditions that shape such studies around the globe by APA-related thinkers. We can learn how local institutions and global contexts shape the possibilities of research, speech, and our visions of philosophy.

These classmates share a desire to shape the future through technology, insight, intellectual exploration and community service.

Position Description:

The Philosophy Department at Binghamton University, State University of New York, is seeking applicants for a tenure-track Assistant Professor. The successful candidate for this position will have a strong teaching competence in Philosophy of Technology, with the ability to guide student work in this area at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The area of research specialization is open, though it is desirable that some aspect of the candidate’s research intersects with, is informed by, or is visibly progressing towards engagement with topics in Philosophy of Technology.

The successful candidate will be expected to play an active role in the department’s graduate program in Social, Political, Ethical, and Legal Philosophy (SPEL). SPEL is distinctive in supporting a diverse scholarly community engaged with value theory from multiple (including non-western) historical traditions as well as from a variety of contemporary approaches. Although we welcome qualified applicants from a full variety of research specializations, excellence in research and an appreciation of pluralism in philosophical inquiry are essential. The successful candidate will teach graduate seminars, supervise teaching assistants, serve on thesis and dissertation committees, direct graduate-level work, participate in department colloquia, and the like.

The teaching load for the position is 2/2. The successful candidate will be expected to regularly teach our introductory lecture course “Technology, Ethics, and Policy”, as well as other courses that contribute to Binghamton University’s large Philosophy, Politics, and Law major. The candidate will also collaborate in support of the Harpur College Digital and Data Studies minor. The ability to contribute to the philosophical breadth of our course offerings is welcome.

The Philosophy Department is committed to equity and inclusion and is working to increase diversity amongst its faculty. Members of groups historically underrepresented in the field and those from non-traditional backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply. Additionally, evidence of a commitment to advancing equity and inclusion through research, teaching, and/or service will be valued. Binghamton University is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.

The position begins at the start of the 2024 fall semester. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in philosophy or closely related field in hand by time of appointment. To apply, please submit a letter of application, addressed to “The Search Committee”, a detailed curriculum vitae that indicates three professional references, and a writing sample. Applications should be submitted through the following link: https://binghamton.interviewexchange.com/jobofferdetails.jsp?JOBID=167114. After an initial review of these application materials, selected candidates will be asked to submit additional materials such as a teaching dossier, and to have letters from their references submitted. Initial interviews of selected applicants will take place via Zoom in late December. Finalists will be invited for on-campus interviews in early 2024.

Applications received by November 1, 2023, will receive full consideration.
