Our aim is to develop the University of Lucerne into a pioneering, internationally renowned center for research and teaching in the human sciences.

The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences with its ten departments and centers focuses on interdisciplinarity and innovation in research and teaching. The faculty offers its nearly 800 students a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary degree programs, many of which are unique in Switzerland. We place great emphasis on excellent supervision and close connection between teaching and research.   As of February 1, 2025, or by agreement, we are looking to fill the following position for the Zug Institute for Blockchain Research Professor of Philosophy and Blockchain (100%, open rank) The successful candidate will play an active role in establishing the interdisciplinary "Zug Institute for Blockchain Research at the University of Lucerne". Based in the Canton of Zug, the institute is planned to consist of a total of nine professorships from five different faculties at the University of Lucerne. The newly appointed professorships and their research teams will focus on the social, political, legal and economic consequences of blockchain technology. The aim is to create an institute for blockchain research with a human science focus that is unique in the world in terms of its breadth and diversity.

As the holder of the professorship (m/f/d) you are responsible for the area “Philosophy and Blockchain." Possible fields of research (non-exhaustive) include questions about the nature of blockchain, ethical implications of blockchain, epistemological implications of blockchain, and related topics. You will teach in the field of “Philosophy and Blockchain", represent the subject sustainably and visibly in research and participate in further education. A qualification in other areas of philosophy and their interfaces with digitalization is also desirable.

You will complement the courses in the Department of Philosophy by providing high-quality lectures and seminars for the BA and MA programme “Philosophy" and the interfaculty programme “Philosophy, Politics and Economics". Additionally, you will actively participate in the development of new study programmes both within and between faculties. Your experience with interdisciplinary degree programmes, teaching in philosophy, and student supervision is an advantage.

In addition to high-quality teaching, you will also have an outstanding research record. This results from research achievements such as national and international publications, third-party funding acquired to date, as well as prizes and other awards, in accordance with the academic age to be calculated. The “Zug Institute for Blockchain Research at the University of Lucerne" expects the professorship's research to make a visible contribution to national and international debates on “Philosophy and Blockchain" through relevant publications and the acquisition of third-party funding.

The general hiring requirements are based on § 2 of the appointment regulations of the University of Lucerne. A completed doctorate is required for the position. For a full professorship, a habilitation or habilitation-equivalent achievements in philosophy are needed. For an assistant professorship with tenure track, a doctorate and a subsequent project for a habilitation in philosophy are both required. Part-time professorships are possible.
A positive work environment and supporting students and academic staff at all levels are very important to the University of Lucerne. Therefore, in addition to having high qualifications in teaching and research, we are also looking for someone who has excellent social skills and teamwork abilities, a high level of motivation for implementing equal opportunity policies, an eagerness to supervise doctoral and post-doctoral scientists, and a high level of willingness to engage in administrative responsibilities. We also expect an openness to collaborate in both teaching and research across faculties. Teaching in English or German is possible.

You already have German language proficiency at level C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, or you will get it soon enough.

We particularly invite applications from people with disabilities, people of color, and people who identify as members of racial or ethnic minorities in the Swiss context in order to further diversity and equal opportunity. The University of Lucerne promotes work-life balance. The assistant professorship can also be filled at 75% workload to improve that balance.

We provide a stimulating work environment at a vibrant faculty, ideal circumstances for your continued growth, and a place of employment with a high quality of life. A motivated and committed team will support you.

The employment conditions adhere to the personnel laws of the Canton of Lucerne.   Prof. Dr. Daniel Speich Chassé, the chair of the appointment committee, can provide you with additional information about the application process at [email protected].

Start date: flexible, ideally no later than November/December 2024

Duration: 1 year (renewable to up to 3 years)

Kind of employment: Full-time scholarship; under request, the candidates can teach and/or support Dr. Piergiacomi’s courses in the history of philosophy of science.

Deadline: July 24 (later applications may be evaluated if the position remains unfilled).


Applications are invited for one (1) full-time postdoctoral position at the Humanities & Arts department at Technion, Israel Institute of Technology (Haifa, Israel). The successful candidate will join the research laboratory directed by Dr. Enrico Piergiacomi and conduct independent and collaborative research under the project Digital Atomism: Democritus and the Democritean Tradition.

The goal of the project is to conduct cutting-edge research on the earliest phase of atomism, namely Leucippus, Democritus, and the Democriteans (including but not limited to key figures like Anaxarchus, Metrodorus of Chios, and Nausiphanes), as well as in its subsequent reception. These thinkers not only laid the groundwork for the atomistic theories of Epicurus and Lucretius, but also served as a source of inspiration for corpuscular theories espoused by influential figures such as Francis Bacon, Galileo Galilei, and Pierre Gassendi. Their ideas also exerted a pervasive influence on various seemingly disparate intellectual strands, including scepticism (exemplified by Pyrrho and Sextus Empiricus), alchemy, libertinism, and even Marxism.

Additionally, the project seeks to create a digital platform that will host a new collection of evidence on the ancient atomists and edit/translate texts of the Renaissance/early modern period that were directly influenced by these thinkers. An example is Giovanni Magneno’s Democritus reviviscens sive de atomis (Paris 1646). A list of desirable texts to be studied can be provided in advance.

The research focus is open, insofar as it is established a clear connection between ancient atomism and the candidate’s area(s) of interest. Broadly conceived, the successful candidates will foster interdisciplinary collaborations that link the humanities to science and technology. Preferences will be given to scholars who have a good command of Greek and Latin, as well as who can work on both the ancient period and the Renaissance/early modern period.

The applicant is required to have a PhD in philosophy or classics, close to completion or awarded no later than 5 years ago. The ability and desire to conduct independent research are essential, and a publication record in a pertinent field is highly desirable.


Stipend: $30,000 per year.

The application (in English) should include:

• CV, including a list of publications;
• One writing sample;
• A research proposal (2-3 pages, bibliography excluded);
• Names and contact details of two/three expert referees (actual letters will be requested only from shortlisted candidates).

Please send applications by July 24 to Enrico Piergiacomi ([email protected]) with CC to Anat Glass ([email protected]). Shortlisted candidates will be invited for an interview near the end of July and the beginning of August. Their referees will be requested to submit the recommendations by that time.

Candidates who are not selected for a full-time position might be invited to visit the Technion for 2 to 12 months. Informal inquiries can be sent directly to [email protected].

The University Center for Human Values invites applications for Laurance S. Rockefeller Visiting Faculty Fellowships for the academic year 2025-26. Fellows devote an academic year in residence at Princeton to research and writing about topics involving human values in public and private life. This full-time visiting program is open to scholars in all disciplines across the humanities and social sciences. We welcome applications from scholars from a variety of disciplines.

Fellows are expected to reside in or around Princeton or demonstrate to the program's satisfaction the ability to commute to campus on a daily basis during the 12-week fall and spring semesters. Fellows pursue their own research and are active contributors to the intellectual life of the Center. This includes participating in a weekly seminar attended by fellows and Center faculty to discuss work in progress and in various other seminars, colloquia and lectures sponsored by the Center. Fellows enjoy access to Firestone Library and to a wide range of activities and facilities throughout the University. 

Candidates must have a doctorate or equivalent professional degree and a strong record of research publications appropriate to their career stage. Typically, Fellows hold faculty positions at other universities or colleges; in exceptional cases we consider applications from independent scholars when there is a high level of scholarly achievement. This is not a postdoctoral fellowship program and we do not generally consider candidates who will have held the Ph.D. for less than two years at the time of appointment, or who are coming directly from a postdoctoral fellowship.

The fellowship typically extends from September 1 to June 1. Fellows receive a stipend paid in nine equal installments. Ordinarily, home institutions provide a portion of their salaries in addition to benefits, although this is not a requirement. Independent scholars are eligible to apply.

Main considerations in the evaluation of applications are the following:

• The significance of the proposed research and its relevance to the purposes of the University Center for Human Values (see http://uchv.princeton.edu/(Link is external))
• The quality of a candidate’s previous research and the contribution the candidate is likely to make in the future through their scholarship
• The likelihood that the research would benefit from being conducted in the University Center environment

Candidates must submit an online application at https://www.princeton.edu/acad-positions/position/35003(Link is external). 

Required materials:

As AI systems, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), become increasingly prevalent, there is growing concern about their ethical implications for society. Most discussions on this topic focus solely on the risks and harms associated with LLMs, overlooking their impact on human flourishing.
