This particular Postdoctoral Research Fellow will work on the metaphysics of time and be situated in the department of philosophy. In this role you will:

• Publish in journals of high standing, and possibly contribute to chapters in books related to the project
• Take an interdisciplinary perspective on your research, which in part will involve continued communication between this role and the other three fellow appointments (which will deal with the history and philosophy of the scientific study of time, the metaphysics of time, and the psychology of time) as well as participation in at least two of the four international meetings.
• Contribute to administration of the project, possibly including its conferences, outreach, and books
To be successful in this role you will have:
• Completed your PhD in a relevant discipline by the fellowship start date of early January 2013.
