The Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy (MCMP, http://lmu.de/mcmp) and the Chair of Philosophy of Science at the Faculty of Philosophy, Philosophy of Science and Study of Religion at LMU Munich seek applications for an Assistant Professorship (non-tenure-track).
Candidates are expected to conduct research in the philosophy of physics. The position is for three years with the possibility of extension for another three years. Note that there is no tenure-track option. The appointment will be made within the German A13 salary scheme (under the assumption that the civil service requirements are met), which means that one has the rights and perks of a civil servant. The starting date is November 1, 2015, but a later starting date is also possible. (Please let us know if you wish to start at a later date.)
The appointee will be expected to (i) do research in the philosophy of physics, (ii) teach five hours a week, and (iii) take on management and supervision tasks. The successful candidate will have a PhD in philosophy and some teaching experience in philosophy. Applications (including a cover letter that addresses, amongst others, one’s academic background and research interests, a CV, a list of publications, a list of taught courses, a sample of written work of no more than 5000 words, a description of planned research projects of 1000-1500 words, and concrete ideas for grant proposals which can be sent to German or European funding agencies) should be sent by email (ideally everything requested in one PDF document) to [email protected] by September 3, 2015. Hard copy applications are not accepted. Additionally, two confidential letters of reference addressing the applicant’s qualifications for academic research should be sent to the same address from the referees directly.
For further information, please contact Prof. Stephan Hartmann ([email protected]).
