Jobs In Philosophy
The Philosophy Department at the University of Duisburg-Essen invites applications for a postdoctoral position (‘wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin’, comparable to an assistant professorship, 100% TVL).
Job description: You will be required to engage in independent research in the context of the binational project How Does it Feel? Empathy and Interpersonal Understanding, a cooperative project based in the Universities of Duisburg-Essen and Liverpool. Specifically, the research is to be carried out on the subproject Interpersonal Understanding and Endorsement. The incumbent will also be involved in the organisation of workshops and conferences. The position has no teaching duties, although teaching opportunities are available if teaching is desired.
Your profile: Candidates should have both a BA and a very good PhD in philosophy, and excellent command of the English language. You should be specialised in metaethics, philosophical psychology and epistemology. Your philosophical methodology should be unabashedly analytic and you should have in-depth knowledge of relevant historical texts. Finally, familiarity with areas of empirical psychology, for instance, social, developmental or clinical psychology, would be highly desirable.
The work we are doing in the Research Group Philosophical Anthropology and Ethics is described at: https://www.uni-due.de/philo_ude/anthropologie/
Starting date: 1st April 2020
Contract duration: 3 years
Position type: Full-time (100% TVL); salary bracket 13 TV-L. The net salary depends on age, tax level (family situation), and years of academic experience.
Application deadline: 05.02.2012
How to apply: Please send a CV, a list of courses taught, a list of publications, copies of your transcripts and degree certificates, a writing sample and details of two referees (all in one PDF) by email to Neil Roughley (neil [dot] roughley [__at__] uni-due [dot] de), to whom any questions about the position can also be addressed. Please mention the reference number 020-20 in the mail’s subject line.
Diversity & Inclusiveness: The University of Duisburg-Essen supports diversity and equal opportunities (http://www.uni-due.de/diversity). The University aims to increase the proportion of women in academic positions and therefore strongly encourages applications from women. Preferential treatment will be given to women if their professional qualifications and abilities are equivalent to those of other applicants. The University also particularly encourages applications from disabled persons.
Application deadline:
05 January 2020
Expected starting date:

Informal information (VCM)
The TU/e philosophy and ethics department currently has 12 regular faculty members, 7 PostDocs and 7 PhD students (Emily Sullivan will join us from TU Delft in January as Assistant Professor). Its strengths are mainly in technology-related philosophy, but faculty members pursue a wide range of research interests. We are part of the 4TU Centre for Ethics and Technology (currently administered from Eindhoven). 4TU + Utrecht just acquired a large 'Gravitation' grant (17M€ for 10 years) on the 'ethics of socially disruptive technologies'.
The teaching load is modest, and faculty usually have one of the four quarters without teaching.
I think this is a very attractive job - both at Assistant and at Associate levels. The Assistant position will become permanent unless a disaster happens. Generally, the translation of the Dutch system into US terms like 'Assistant Professor' is a bit misleading since in NL older Assistant Professors have tenure, and 'Associate' is always tenured and often held by senior people. Promotion to higher levels on merit is encouraged, without the need for a 'position' to be available at the department.
The deadline was extended a bit beyond the Christmas holidays ... though we already had >100 applications by the 5th.
I am happy to answer questions.

It is funded by the German national funding agency (DFG). Its research program aims at bridging the gap between practice and theory in the philosophical investigation of scientific research in two ways: firstly, it examines new connections between practical philosophy of science (ethics of science, political philosophy of science) and theoretical philosophy of science (epistemology, metaphysics); secondly, it analyzes relevant links between the material culture of the sciences (objects, equipment, experiments, practices) and the cognitive dimension of the sciences (theories, hypotheses, discourses, models).

They should have completed their doctoral research on a topic from philosophy of science and/or ethics of science.
