Each year, the Mudd Center hosts numerous distinguished scholars, researchers, artists and others to examine a specific theme. Since its establishment in 2010, through a gift from esteemed journalist and W&L alumnus Roger Mudd, the Mudd Center for Ethics has investigated issues from medical ethics and immigration to design and technology. Please see our https://my.wlu.edu/mudd-center for more information.

Qualifications

Required qualifications:

• PhD in philosophy or other relevant fields
• Fluent oral and written communication skills in English  
• Suitability and motivation for the position

Anyone who finds the project of interest is invited to apply, but candidates are likely to be especially competitive if their areas of expertise include either decision theory, epistemology (especially formal epistemology), or ethics (including metaethics).

• The applicant's potential for contributing to the project
• The applicant’s proven ability to produce philosophical work of high quality

Please note that appointment to the position is conditional on the candidate’s having passed their PhD defense.

CEU is the lead institution in the recently awarded FWF Cluster of Excellence research project, Knowledge in Crisis. This is a collaboration between four institutions (CEU and the universities of Vienna, Graz and Salzburg) to explore fundamental philosophical questions about the nature of knowledge and its construction and consumption. The Cluster of Excellence initiative is part of the FWF’s largest ever research funding scheme. The Cluster investigates the current crisis of knowledge. Claims to knowledge are being threatened by rapid and spectacular developments in technology, and by attacks on the very ideas of knowledge and truth themselves. The aim of the Cluster is to advance our understanding of this crisis. It will explore fundamental philosophical questions about the nature of knowledge and investigate various challenges to scientific and other knowledge. In this pursuit it brings together philosophers working on metaphysics, ethics, political and social philosophy, philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, and epistemology to jointly investigate the many facets of the crisis.

Budget Title:  Postdoctoral Associate (SL-1)

Salary:  $55,000 (full-time, temporary)

Binghamton University's Institute for Genocide and Mass Atrocity Prevention (I-GMAP) is pleased to announce the Charles E. Scheidt Post-Doctoral Fellowships in Genocide and Mass Atrocity Prevention and welcomes applications for two (2) positions for the 2025-26 academic year. This one-year fellowship is renewable for a maximum of two years.

Through the generous support of the Charles E. Scheidt Family Foundation, the post-doctoral fellowship offers qualified applicants the opportunity to pursue their research at Binghamton University while working closely with the I-GMAP team to promote and advance interdisciplinary and practitioner-relevant scholarship dedicated to improved understanding of and capacities for the prevention of mass atrocities.

The fellowship supports recent recipients of terminal degrees in any relevant academic discipline with potential to contribute to atrocity prevention. I-GMAP's broad conception of atrocity prevention encompasses "upstream" or structural issues (international relations, conflict and peacebuilding, international political economy, sociology of ethnic and other forms of inter-group conflict drivers, issues in resource management, social media and communication, climate change-driven conflict, civil society movements including local actors, political systems, political fragility and regime change, etc., the role of international corporations); "midstream" issues of atrocity response (Responsibility to Protect, humanitarian intervention, international sanctions regimes and other international financial institutions as intervention approaches; and "downstream" approaches for post-atrocity resilience (including transitional justice, reparations, memorialization and memory sites, truth commissions, issues in post-atrocity political culture, literary and cultural studies.) Applicants are also welcome to propose other connections between their research program and atrocity prevention under this broad conception.

Applicants must have their terminal degree conferred by the Fellowship start date of August 29, 2025.  Recent PhDs from any discipline (including but not limited to Africana studies, anthropology, Asian studies, business administration, comparative literature, computer science, engineering, environmental science, geography, gender studies, history, human rights, indigenous studies, international finance, international relations, Latin American studies, philosophy, political science, psychology, public administration, or sociology) are welcome to apply. Under appropriate circumstances applications by recent recipients of the J.D. will also be considered, as will those already occupying temporary or tenure-track positions.

The three-fold mission of Binghamton University's I-GMAP is to: 1) bridge the gap between scholars conducting academic research on the causes, risks, and mechanisms for reducing the occurrence of atrocity crimes and the global community of prevention practitioners in both state and non-state roles; 2) to break down barriers that prevent academic disciplines from working together effectively; and 3) to bring all the resources of a modern research university to bear to advance atrocity prevention. To that end, fellows will be expected to benefit from and contribute to the full range of I-GMAP activities. The post-doctoral fellow may take full advantage of the welcoming and vibrant intellectual atmosphere of the Institute to advance their individual prevention-focused research agendas. This may include work on a book manuscript and/or peer-reviewed journal articles, but is also expected to include policy briefs, technical reports, training or educational workshops, and/or mass media publications. Fellows will also be expected to teach at least one course, per academic year, at the undergraduate and/or master's level in support of I-GMAP's academic programming; to present at least one public lecture, and to participate in the full range of I-GMAP activities, including interactions with resident practitioners, visiting practitioners and faculty fellows, and I-GMAP's annual Frontiers of Prevention forum.

Fellowships carry a competitive salary and include stipends in support of research, including research-related travel.

Requirements:

• Completed PhD by August 29, 2025

Offers of employment may be contingent upon successful completion of a pre-employment background check and verification of degree(s) and credentials.

Perry World House at the University of Pennsylvania invites applications for its 2025-2026 Lightning Scholars Program. This program brings untenured, but tenure-track, faculty at either the assistant or associate level from around the world to Philadelphia for a semester or year of writing, fellowship, and bridging the gap between academia and the policy world.

Since launching in 2016, Perry World House has catalyzed interdisciplinary and policy-relevant research by scholars at Penn and around the globe and convened conversations in Philadelphia on the most pressing global challenges. With fellowship and scholar programs, Perry World House has connected Penn’s students and faculty with the world’s leading academics and policy makers, infusing our research, teaching and, engagement with the ideas, wisdom, and experience of those shaping world events.

This fellowship program allows untenured faculty members at leading research universities around the world to join Perry World House and the Penn community for a semester or full academic year in residence in Philadelphia to produce a major research project or book. While the fellowship program is for faculty working on global affairs topics, preference will be given to faculty working on subjects broadly related to Perry World House’s thematic research areas:  International Peace and Security (including, but not limited to, emerging technologies and global politics), Global Justice and Human Rights, Democracy, and Climate Change.

The ideal candidates for this program will be looking for an in-residence fellowship away from their home institution that will provide the space and support to write, but also the opportunity to collaborate with an interdisciplinary and vibrant community of global affairs scholars and practitioners. Perry World House is especially interested in faculty whose work connects to important global policy conversations and who will want to engage in dialogue with some of the many policymakers from around the world who visit Perry World House.

The program’s compensation is significant and negotiated on a case-by-case basis. The program is intended to allow the selected Lightning Scholar to take a comfortable leave from their home institution, often by supporting the difference between a one semester sabbatical provided by the home institution and a full year leave. Although final compensation will depend on the circumstances of each applicant, the program will provide at least $68,000 as well as relevant fees and health insurance, if needed. The fellowship will also include $5,000 in research support, as well as the opportunity to help shape workshops and colloquia at Perry World House.

Qualifications

Applications, which should be submitted via Interfolio, are welcome from scholars who have either a Ph.D. or equivalent degrees (including a J.D.), are standing faculty members at a college or university, and are on the tenure track but still untenured. Applications for the 2025-2026 academic years will be reviewed on a rolling basis beginning on December 2, 2024.

Application Instructions

Applicants must include a cover-letter, three-page proposal, CV, a letter of support from their home department/institution, and a confidential letter of recommendation. To receive full consideration, applications and letters of support should be received by that date.

Position: Postdoctoral Fellow

Employment duration: 36 months
Project title: Ontology of multisensory unification

The Center for Cognitive Science at the Jagiellonian University will hire a postdoctoral researcher to work with prof. Błażej Skrzypulec on the interdisciplinary research project ‘Ontology of multisensory unification’ funded by the National Science Centre, Poland.

The aim of the project is to analyze, from the perspective of empirically informed philosophy of perception and with use of ontological notions, the structural aspects of perceptual experiences. The structural aspects of experiences are understood as those which (a) concern elements which are invariant despite changes in presented entities, like the shape of a visual field which remains the same no matter what is seen, and (b) concern principles according to which presented entities are experientially organized, for instance the way perceptual wholes are composed of simpler elements and the rules of perceptual synchronic and diachronic individuation.

In particular, the goal of the project is to analyze the perceptual structures related to various sensory modalities and investigate the ways in which unimodal perceptual structures are combined in multimodal experiences. The questions asked within the project concern the spatiotemporal structures of multimodal experiences (e.g., what is the topological structure of visuo-tactile space), the compositional structures that organize contents of perceptual experiences (e.g., what is the visual or olfactory mereology), and the ways in which perceptual modalities present synchronic and diachronic sameness (e.g., whether vision presents entities as enduring while audition presents entities as perduring).

See this link for the detailed description of the project:

Up to four junior fellowships are available for early career researchers working in applied or interdisciplinary phenomenology. Fellows will be hosted for a one-month stay by the Danish Institute for Advanced Study (DIAS) at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU). The primary purpose of the fellowship is to mentor and support early career researchers through the process of writing applications for externally funded post-doctoral positions to work at SDU.

During their stay, the fellows’ primary host will be Anthony Vincent Fernandez, Assistant Professor of Applied Philosophy. However, in their application documents, applicants should identify members of the DIAS Interdisciplinary Phenomenology Cluster who they might like to work with. Any member labelled as full-time (FT) faculty can potentially supervise or co-supervise proposed projects. And any member of the cluster may collaborate on proposed projects. A list of all members of the Cluster, with links to their profile pages, can be found on the Cluster homepage.

Fellows may come from any disciplinary background, so long as their project is in applied or interdisciplinary phenomenology and suitable supervisors can be identified. One of the available fellowships will be reserved for the DIAS-MoCS fellowship, which is for applicants who wish to conduct phenomenological qualitative research in the areas of sport, health, or performing arts. Please note in your application whether you would like to be considered for the DIAS-MoCS fellowship and, if so, which members of MoCS (the research unit of Movement, Culture and Society) you would like to work with. Full-time MoCS faculty include Susanne Ravn (Head of research unit); Anthony Vincent Fernandez; Signe Højbjerre Larsen; Simon Høffding; Sarah Pini. (Note: Applying for the DIAS-MoCS Fellowship may increase, but will not decrease, your overall chance of receiving a DIAS fellowship.)

Fellows will be provided with workspace at DIAS and will be able to participate in additional events taking place during the fellowship period. Ideally, the fellowship period will take place from mid-May to mid-June, 2025, which will allow fellows to join some of our events, such as PhD courses and conferences. However, it is also possible to schedule an alternative fellowship period.

DIAS: The Danish Institute for Advanced Study is an elite research center at SDU with a focus on interdisciplinary collaboration. Its chairs, senior fellows, and fellows represent all five faculties at the university. Members gather for weekly events, including regular talks by leading researchers from across all academic disciplines. More information about DIAS can be found here.

Eligibility: Fellows are expected to apply for the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowships (anticipated deadline Sept. 2025)—in addition to other funding sources that they may identify themselves. Eligibility for the DIAS Visiting Junior Fellowships will therefore be the same as eligibility criteria for the 2025 MSCA fellowships. Typically, this requires that the applicant have a PhD before the MSCA deadline, which they have received less than eight years earlier. Moreover, as this is a mobility fellowship, applicants cannot have resided in Denmark for more than 12 months in the 36 months immediately preceding the call deadline. (Please see the above link for full eligibility requirements.)

Award: Fellows will be awarded up to 30,000 DKK (approx. €4,000). Typically, up to 15,000 DKK will be provided as reimbursement for travel and housing costs. The remaining 15,000 DKK will be disbursed as a one-time payment at the end of the research stay. (Note: The payment may count as taxable income in the fellow’s country of residence.)

Application Details: The application should include the following three documents, totalling two pages plus a CV:

(1) A project proposal (max. one page, single-spaced, 11 pt. font), which outlines a potential project in the area of applied or interdisciplinary phenomenology. The proposal should provide a brief motivation/background for the project before sketching the aims and methods. Projects that clearly span more than one discipline and might involve collaboration with Cluster members from different faculties will be prioritized. Projects can be theoretical or empirical, so long as the applicant can identify suitable supervisors. Please note that the purpose of the fellowship is not to carry out the proposed project. Rather, the purpose is to work with members of the Cluster to refine the project idea and develop a full proposal for external funding applications.

(2) An information sheet (max. one page, single-spaced, 11 pt. font) outlining (a) the applicant’s prior research insofar as it is relevant to the fellowship call; (b) which faculty members (listed on the Cluster homepage) the applicant would like to work with to develop the project proposal, and how their research overlaps with these faculty members; (c) which sources of postdoctoral funding the applicant intends to apply for following the initial fellowship period, including how they meet the eligibility criteria for this funding; (d) whether the applicant wishes to be considered for the DIAS-MoCS fellowship; and (e) where the applicant heard about the fellowship.

(3) A standard CV (no page limit), which should include, at minimum, education, employment, and presentations/publications.

Deadline: Applications should be emailed to A. V. Fernandez at [email protected] by Monday, December 16th, 2024. Decisions will be communicated by the end of January.

For general questions about the fellowship, including eligibility, project ideas, and help identifying potential supervisors, contact A. V. Fernandez. If you applied in a previous round but were unsuccessful, you may contact Fernandez for feedback and advice before submitting for the current call. If you have specific questions about collaborating with other members of the Cluster, you may also reach out to them directly.
