Job description

This full-time position (German tariff TV-L 13) is devoted to the topic "Reasoning with conditionals in a qualitative cognitive framework" and is part of a three-year project of the same title funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). The text of the project proposal can be downloaded at the website specified above or below,

The work program of the project may be adapted moderately to the candidate's competences. A close co-operation with the DFG Special Priority Program "New Frameworks of Rationality" (SPP 1516) and the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy (MCMP) is intended.

The appointee will be expected to conduct philosophical research and participate in the organisation of the project. The ideal candidate

- has completed or is about complete his or her PhD in philosophy or a related field,

- takes a keen interest in conditionals, and

- has not only a thorough education in logic and/or philosophy, but also substantial competences in the methods used in psychology or cognitive science.
