Fully funded PhD post in philosophy of science over 3 years available at Bielefeld University :   Applications are invited for a fully funded (65% TV-L 13) PhD-position for three years (fixed term) in philosophy of science at Bielefeld University (beginning April 15, 2019). The post is part of a DFG-funded project on research in the context of practice. The project is supposed to inquire into the practical fruitfulness of heuristic strategies. This question will be addressed by analyzing a pool of practically relevant research projects from the sciences and comparing their goals and accomplishments. The pertinent projects are driven by societal demand but aim to gain scientifically relevant knowl­edge in addition. Deadline for applications: February 21, 2019.   The material to be analyzed is in German. Therefore, command of German is required.

The National Museums Scotland Science & Technology Department and Surgeons Hall announce that the next meeting of ARTEFACTS will be held in Edinburgh, 20–22 October 2019. ARTEFACTS is an association of historians of science and technology, mostly in museums and academic institutions, who share the goal of promoting the use of objects in historical studies. See www.artefactsconsortium.org . The theme of the 2019 meeting (the 24 th since the first in 1996) is DIVERSITY , and we encourage 20-minute papers or short presentations concerning both philosophical and concrete examples of how an explicit attention to diversity can enrich both our understanding and our practice in museums. We characterize ‘diversity’ broadly, encompassing both objects and people; but all proposals should have an explicit focus on the material culture of science, technology and/or medicine. Examples might include, but are not limited to: Diversity of makers, scientists and users of arte...

Thursday 4 th July – Saturday 6 th July 2019.  Edgbaston Park Hotel, Birmingham, UK.  Please note: support for attendance is available. Organised by the Science and Belief in Society Research Group at the University of Birmingham, UK this is the first conference launching the new, International Network for the Study of Science and Belief in Society.

Greater attention is being paid to the varied ways in which perceptions of science are influenced by religious and non-religious belief, identity, community and conflict in different geographical, cultural and historical contexts. The purpose of this international conference is to bring together researchers with backgrounds in sociology, science and technology studies, psychology, political science, history, social anthropology, and related...
