The profile and institutional embedding of TiLPS are based on an emphasis on philosophy of science as it applies to economics and the social and behavioral sciences. This orientation provides a basis for the commitment of departmental research to reflect on the normative and epistemological foundations of the disciplinary fields offered by Tilburg University, including economics, law, the social and behavioral sciences, and the humanities with special emphasis on cognition and communication, and on language, culture and religion.
The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to teaching in the department of philosophy in philosophy of science, epistemology, and related fields, both at the Bachelor and Master levels.
