Jobs in Philosophy in Europe
We seek a philosopher working in an area of health for an assistant professor position in the Philosophy Section at the University of Twente. The section offers a stimulating and collaborative departmental, faculty and international environment. As our new member you will publish in international refereed journals, present at conferences, apply for external funding and engage in international outreach activities.
For this position you should have an established line of research in a philosophical field related to health and health care (particularly bioethics, philosophy of medicine, health-related philosophy of science or philosophical anthropology). We expect you to develop these lines of research. You will also teach courses within your specialization area in the master programme in Philosophy of Science, Technology and Society (PSTS), as well as introductory courses in different areas of philosophy for bachelor and master programs in engineering and social science. Our members engage in supervision of master's theses in the PSTS programme and at some point supervise PhD students.
Additionally you will be expected to build research links with members of the Health Technologies and Services Research (HTSR) section at the university. We would like you to demonstrate potential strategies for engaging with health sciences research, on conceptual, methodological and ethical issues of relevance to researchers in the HTSR section. One area of particular engagement is patient empowerment. HTSR has a specific research interest in patient empowerment, which is a relatively new concept in health care. Its implementation requires careful investigation of the shifting roles of patients and citizens in research and clinical decision making, which takes into account different perspectives. Research could explore, through qualitative investigations for instance (e.g., focus-groups, interviews etc), how different stakeholders understand empowerment, what measures might contribute to it, and what the risks and harms are when considering empowerment to be a main goal of healthcare. We are open to considering any potential plans or proposals for engagement with health science researchers on different topics.
Offer:
You are appointed as assistant professor (full-time) for an initial period of one year, with 40% research time and 60% teaching and administration. After the one-year period, you are eligible for a permanent appointment. Salary is competitive. Initial assistant professor salary is between €3.821,- and €5.943,- per month, depending on experience. On top of the annual salary you receive 8% vacation bonus and 8.3% end-of-year bonus. Non-European Union candidates usually qualify for a low 30% tax rate for their first five years of appointment.
Preferred starting date is August 1st - negotiable. The University of Twente has excellent terms of employment.
Your profile:
• A PhD in philosophy related to health and technology (particularly bioethics, philosophy of medicine, health-related philosophy of science or philosophical anthropology);
• Experience with collaborating across disciplinary boundaries;
• An interest in working directly with health scientists;
• An excellent publication track record in peer-reviewed international journals;
• An established teaching line in philosophy. The position will be 50%:50% teaching/research with staff expected to teach philosophy courses;
• Possession of a University Teaching Qualification (UTQ);
• Proficient in English (C2 level). Dutch is an advantage or willingness to acquire within a short time frame (for research purposes).
Perhaps you are the candidate we are looking for!

PostDoc in the "Ethics of Socially Disruptive Technologies" (ESDiT) programme (10Y, €27M). Supervising professors: Wijnand I. Jsselsteijn & Vincent C. Müller.
As part of the inter-university research consortium, "Ethics of Socially Disruptive Technologies (ESDiT)" the Human-Technology Interaction group of Eindhoven University of Technology is looking to hire a postdoc for a three-year project on “A qualitative investigation of STEM perspectives on relevant ethical knowledge, concerns, and practices associated with socially disruptive technologies.”
The aim of this postdoc project is to perform a multi-method empirical investigation and philosophical analysis of the ethical practices and mechanisms (e.g., safeguards, guidelines) employed by current scientific thought leaders in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) fields, CEOs, entrepreneurs and technical experts in relevant high-tech/biotech industries in order to create ethical awareness, assess ethical drivers and barriers, and raise ethical concerns. This includes the current form of ethical knowledge within high-tech environments, the role that ethical considerations play in pursuing, altering or discontinuing certain technological pursuits, and the extent to which ethical notions, considerations and practices are impacting current and future technology R&D, including the societal introduction and use of high-tech products and services. There will be a special emphasis on the extent to which currently used ethical concepts, methods and recommendations connect well with the practices in STEM industry and policy regarding the disruptive or transformative potential and actual effects of technology.
The postdoc will pursue independent research that engages these topics in a way that supports key research goals of the ESDiT consortium. This will involve cooperation with STEM representatives from inside and outside the ESDiT consortium, as well as cooperation with the other concurrent postdoc projects in the consortium, which are devoted to (1) distinguishing characteristics of socially disruptive technologies, (2) the nature of ethical conceptual change, and (3) methods of practical philosophy of emerging technologies.
Job description
Two Postdoctoral Research Fellowships (SKO 1352) are available at the Department of Philosophy, Classics, History of Art and Ideas, University of Oslo.
The Postdoctoral Research Fellowship is funded by the Research Council of Norway and is associated with the project The Kantian Foundations of Democracy, 324272 - FORSKER21. The candidate is expected to present a research project closely connected to the main project.
Kantian Foundations of Democracy aims to provide the first large-scale analysis of the theory of democracy of the neglected "Kantian School". These were philosophers active in Germany in the 1790s, and included Erhard, Maimon, Heydenreich, Bergk, Reinhold, Tieftrunk, Feuerbach, Jakob, Reimarus, Schlegel, and the early Fichte. Their theories are notable for bringing out fully the Kantian concepts of right, equality, autonomy, and popular sovereignty; for their sophisticated analysis of enlightenment in the public sphere, and their support for popular revolutionary movements. The aim is not just to gain new historical knowledge, but to contribute to improving our understanding of Kant's basic principles, as well as those of democracy more broadly.
More about the position
The successful candidate will examine either Kantian principles of right and their connection to political rights (Task 1), Kantian principles of popular sovereignty (Task 2), or Kantian views of reform and popular revolution (Task 3). Projects may engage with all four crosscutting questions of Kantian Foundations of Democracy (please see project description). Projects may focus more narrowly on one or two of the Kantians, but comparisons to other Kantians and Kant should be included.
The research will apply methodology from the fields of philosophy, political theory, legal theory, and intellectual history. An interdisciplinary background in the above-mentioned fields is an advantage. The successful candidate is expected to produce three peer-reviewed articles or a monograph during the two-year period.
The position is available for a period of 2 years.
The candidate is expected to develop a project description, which must be submitted as a part of the application.
The successful candidates are expected to be based in Oslo during the project period, starting 1 April 2022. They will actively collaborate with the project’s team, and participate in the Practical Philosophy Group and other relevant departmental activities.
The main purpose of postdoctoral research fellowships is to qualify researchers for work in higher academic positions within their disciplines.
Requirements
PhD or equivalent academic qualifications with a specialization in philosophy, political theory, legal theory, intellectual history, or other areas if relevant for the project
The candidate's research project must be closely connected to Kantian Foundations of Democracy
Fluent oral and written communication skills in English
German language skills sufficient for analysing philosophical literature
Personal suitability and motivation for the position
The doctoral dissertation must be submitted for evaluation by the closing date. Appointment is dependent on the public defence of the doctoral thesis being approved.
In the evaluation of the applications, emphasis will be placed on:
The research project’s scientific merit and novelty, and its relevance for Kantian Foundations of Democracy
The applicant’s estimated academic and personal ability to carry out the project within the allotted time frame and to contribute to Kantian Foundations of Democracy
Good co-operative skills, and the ability to successfully join in academic collaboration within and across disciplines
