Location: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Start Date: 9/1/2024
Job Description: Visiting Fellow at the Center for Philosophy of Science, University of Pittsburgh
The Center for Philosophy of Science invites applications for a visiting fellowship during the fall and/or spring term of the 2024-2025 academic year.
Visiting Fellowships enable philosophers of science to spend a fall and/or spring academic term working in the Center for Philosophy of Science on a project in philosophy of science that they nominate. Ten Visiting Fellowships are offered each year. Most Fellows stay for a semester, although some stay for a whole year.
Visiting Fellows must have a doctoral degree. It is expected that the doctorate will be in philosophy, in history and philosophy of science, or that the applicant has an established position in the professional community of philosophy of science. We particularly welcome submissions from members of underrepresented groups.
The Center expects a Visiting Fellow’s research to be supported by his or her own university, or by a foundation or governmental agency. The monthly stipend ($2,500/month) is intended to defray extra costs of dislocation.
Visiting Fellows have no formal duties. They are expected to reside in Pittsburgh, to undertake research full time in an office in the Center for Philosophy of Science, and to participate in the life of the Center by attending and giving talks, contributing to discussion groups, etc.
Applications are due by December 10th, 2023, and must be submitted electronically on the University of Pittsburgh jobs portal. Appy Here: https://cfopitt.taleo.net/careersection/pitt_faculty_external/jobdetail.ftl?job=23006889&tz=GMT-04%3A00&tzname=America%2FNew_York
