Hiring: Postdoc, fixed term contract for 3 years

Phlox is hiring a new postdoc:

  • AOS: Metaphysics & ontology, and/or the Philosophy of language & logic.
  • Historical research in the above areas is also welcome.
  • Research interests that overlap with those of Benjamin Schnieder and/or other members of Phlox are desirable; as is the potential to contribute on ongoing research projects dealing with grounding, fundamentality, and truth-making. Further current research interests in the group include, e.g., issues in social metaphysics and ontology, fictionality, metaphysics from Leibniz to Kant, Bernard Bolzano’s philosophy, and more.
  • We are looking for a good teamplayer who enjoys being an active member of a research group, which involves joint research with other group members, participation in and organization of events, joint work on funding applications, etc.

Some essentials:

  • Duration of contract & starting date: The envisioned starting date is the 1st of April 2024. The position can be held for up to 35 months from that starting date (since the available funding is bound to this period, a later starting date would result in a shorter duration).
  • Salary: The basic salary is € 4.350/month gross (with possible bonuses for previous work experience). In Austria, salaries are paid out for 14 months per year. The net salary can vary dependent on different factors. The standard would be about € 40.000/year. (For more infromation, go here.)
  • Teaching load: Two classes per semester (each class having one session with 90 minutes per week).
  • Deadline for applications: 31st of October (the deadline may be extended, depending on how may applications come in by that date).
