4-year PhD fellowship
Deadline: March 31, 2015

The Institute of Philosophy at the University of Neuchâtel (http://www2.unine.ch/philo/) offers a 4-year PhD fellowship within Fabrice Correia’s SNSF Consolidator project

THE METAPHYSICS OF TIME: RECONCILING THE MANIFEST IMAGE AND CONTEMPORARY SCIENCE

The project will be linked to eidos, the Centre for Metaphysics (http://eidos.philosophie.ch/).

STARTING DATE

August 1st, 2015. A later date may be considered, depending on the availability of the candidate.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

Our common representation of the world appears to involve a number of substantial metaphysical views about time and its occupants, in particular the view that there is an objective distinction between past, present and future, the view that time passes or flows, or again the view that time is occupied both by events and things, the former unfolding along the temporal dimension and the latter persisting and changing through time while remaining numerically the same. Recently, these theses have been subject to a form of scepticism, which purports to show that the very distinctions they explicitly endorse or at least presuppose are in fact illusory. Even if it is granted that the relevant distinctions do make sense, a number of arguments taken from contemporary physics have been put forward against the common sense views. The aim of the project is twofold: (1) to argue, against the sceptical stances, that the distinctions in question are robust, and (2) to assess the prospects of a reconciliation of contemporary physics and commonsense. The core working hypothesis of the project is that both aims can be achieved in terms of relevant concepts of “fundamentality”, “grounding”, “what is really the case”, and cognate notions.

SCIENTIFIC REQUIREMENTS

The ideal candidate has a strong background in both contemporary metaphysics and the philosophy of contemporary physics. The appointee will be expected to work on a topic related to the project.

LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS

Neuchâtel is part of the French-speaking area of Switzerland, but for the purposes of the position only English is compulsory.

HOW TO APPLY

Applications must be sent by e-mail to Fabrice Correia (fabrice [dot] correia [__at__] unine [dot] ch) by March 31st, 2015. They should include a CV, a list of publications, a writing sample and the name of two persons who can act as referees if contacted.

Elphinstone PhD Scholarship in Epistemology of Perception at the University of Aberdeen
Deadline: April 30, 2015

One Elphinstone PhD Scholarship in Epistemology of Perception is available at the Department of Philosophy of the University of Aberdeen. The Scholarship covers the entirety of tuition fees for a PhD student of any nationality commencing full-time study in October 2015, for the three-year duration of their studies.

The successful PhD student will be supervised by Dr Luca Moretti (main supervisor http://lucamoretti.org) and Dr Fed Luzzi (associate supervisor).

The applicant should select one of the following research projects:

1) Topics in Epistemology of Perception

Epistemology of perception investigates whether and how we acquire knowledge or justified belief through perception. These important questions are interwoven with a number of issues and problems hotly debated in current epistemology. Here are examples: perceptual scepticism (whether we actually know the external world through perception); basic knowledge or justification (whether perception can provide us with knowledge or justified belief even if its reliability is unwarranted); perceptual dogmatism (according to which, roughly, perceptual appearances are sources of basic justification); cognitive penetration (the awkward phenomenon that appearances’ contents somewhat depends on background mental states); epistemic entitlement theories (according to which we have non-evidential epistemic justification for accepting empirical propositions of certain types). A PhD thesis should focus on one of these issues or a combination of them (e.g. dogmatism and cognitive penetration; or epistemic entitlement and perceptual scepticism) and contribute original research results to the relevant debate.

2) Liberalism versus Conservatism in Epistemology of Perception

According to liberalism, if you have an experience as if P, you acquire prima facie justification for believing that P that doesn’t require independent justification for taking your experience to be reliable. Conservatism, on the other hand, states that you have justification for believing that P, when you experience as if P, only if you possess independent justification for taking your experience to be reliable. In current epistemology of perception, Jim Pryor for instance defends liberalism by appealing to perceptual dogmatism. Crispin Wright endorses conservatism by adducing his epistemic entitlement theory to explain why we have independent justification for taking our experience to be trustworthy. Conservatism and liberalism have different merits and problems. For example, liberalism offers a neat response to perceptual scepticism but seems to yield "easy" justification, looks incoherent with Bayesian reasoning, and is threatened by the awkward phenomenon of cognitive penetration. Conservatism is not affected by these difficulties but engenders scepticism unless a credible explanation of why we have independent justification for taking experiences to be reliable is provided. A PhD thesis should analyse this important debate and contribute original research outcomes to the conversation on this topic.

3) Epistemological Disjunctivism in Epistemology of Perception

The defining thesis of epistemological disjunctivism in philosophy of perception roughly says that only the cases of veridical perception can provide us with justification for our perceptual beliefs that is strong enough to ground perceptual knowledge. This type of epistemological disjunctivism is very often based on direct (or naïve) realism––i.e. the view that whereas veridical perceptions have mind-independent objects among their constituents, subjectively indistinguishable hallucinations have just mind-dependent objects as their constituents. Epistemological disjunctivism has been claimed to be able to avoid the threat of perceptual scepticism (e.g. by John McDowell and Duncan Pritchard) and reconcile epistemological internalism with externalism (e.g. by Duncan Prichard). These claims and the very defining thesis of epistemological disjunctivism are controversial. A PhD thesis should analyse this important debate and contribute original research findings to the conversation on this topic.

To apply for an Elphinstone PhD Scholarship, you should apply for a PhD via our online system (http://www.abdn.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/apply.php) stating:

- "Elphinstone PhD Scholarship" in the Intended Source of Funding section
- The name of the main supervisor in the Name of Proposed Supervisor section
- The title of the specific research project in the Outline Summary section
- Candidates should simultaneously register their desire to be considered by emailing the Graduate School Administrator, Ann Marie Johnston, at a [dot] m [dot] johnston [__at__] abdn [dot] ac [dot] uk

Eligibility for an Elphinstone Scholarship is based on academic excellence. Applicants must have the equivalent to a UK 1st class or an Upper Second (2.1) Honours undergraduate degree and/or a Masters with Commendation/Merit or Distinction.

Deadline: January 31, 2015

EC Research Project "Digital Do It Yourself” (DiDIY), Horizon 2020, ICT 31-2014-644344

30 months (starting January 2015 or soon thereafter)

Anatolia College/ACT (Thessaloniki) - physical location of researcher is negotiable

Ca. 1,900 EUR/month (gross) + travel budget + office/IT budget (= 75% position)

Principal Investigator at Anatolia College/ACT: Professor Vincent C. Müller (http://www.sophia.de)

Project outline: Digital Do-It-Yourself (DiDIY) is a new socio-technological phenomenon that emerges from the availability of devices that allow the non-professional a digitally precise reproduction of physical artefacts (just like the digital reproduction of data): Anybody can make anything any time. These technologies together with the growing accessibility of data through open online communities lead to new roles and relations among individuals, organizations, and society; in which the distinction between users and producers of physical artefacts is blurred, and new opportunities and risks emerge. Within the larger project (7 institutions, 2.1 mil EUR), Anatolia College/ACT will work on ethical problems and risks of these emerging technologies.

Candidate Profile: We are looking for someone with expertise in applied ethics and new technologies. Some background in philosophy is desirable but other perspectives are possible. The researcher could be a Post-Doc or a PhD student. If a student, we offer the possibility to pursue a PhD programme with the University of Reading, Department of Philosophy and/or Department of Cybernetics. Cooperation with other departments, e.g. at the University of Oxford, are also possible.

Applications (Letter of interest + CV) should be sent in a single PDF file per e-mail with the subject line “DiDIY job” to vmueller [__at__] act [dot] edu. Viewing of applications will begin on January 15th but applications until January 31st are considered.

Im Rahmen des Projekts „Ontology of Musical Works and Analysis of Musical Practices“ (“Ontologie musikalischer Werke und Analyse der Musikpraxis”) ist eine Promotionsstelle für drei Jahre zu vergeben.

Kontext: Das Projekt thematisiert die Metaphysik, insbesondere die Identitätsbedingungen musikalischer Werke. Wie andere Beiträge zur philosophischen Diskussion in diesem Bereich, nehmen wir als Ausgangspunkt die Entwicklung der Standard-Notenschrift im neunzehnten Jahrhundert, rund um und vor allem nach der Zeit Beethovens.
Das Projekt wird am Institut für Philosophie an der Universität Bern durchgeführt und vom Schweizerischen Nationalfonds (SNF) finanziert. Es soll vom Februar 2015 bis zum Januar 2018 dauern. Weitere Projektteilnehmer sind Prof. Dale Jacquette, Dr. Thomas Gartmann und Dr. Marcello Ruta.

Fokus der Dissertation: Der erfolgreiche Bewerber/die erfolgreiche Bewerberin soll systematisch die Metaphysik der Musik und die Identitätsbedingungen für spezifische Werke der Musik erforschen. Es gibt eine beträchtliche Literatur zum Thema in der Ästhetik, der Kunst und insbesondere in der Musikkritik, und das Projekt wird diese Literatur aufnehmen und einen signifikanten Beitrag zur philosophischen Diskussion über die Ontologie von Musikwerken in Bezug auf das Verständnis der Vielfalt der Musikpraxis leisten. Wir planen die Organisation zweier Konferenzen und hoffen, mit den Konferenzbeiträgen mindestens eine Sammlung von Artikeln zu den zentralen Themen des Projekts veröffentlichen zu können. Der Doktorand/die Doktorandin soll nicht nur seine/ihre Dissertation verfassen, sondern auch aktiv an den philosophischen Diskussionen teilnehmen, bei der Organisation von Anlässen mitwirken und bei der Herausgabe des Sammelbandes (oder der Bände) mitarbeiten. Die Arbeitssprache in der Forschung ist Englisch oder Deutsch.
