Dear Doctoral Researchers,
I would like to remind you that two of our important deadlines are
approaching.
If you have any questions about either, please feel free to contact this
office.
Best,
Raphael
1. Summer School Organization Call (deadline 18 Nov)
Information at
https://vd-philosophy.univie.ac.at/phd-program/doctoral-training/summer-sch…
2. Thesis Completion Fellowship (deadline 18 Nov)
The goal of the fellowship is to support highly qualified doctoral
students successfully complete their dissertations within the funding
period of up to 6 months. To apply for the fellowship, you and your
supervisor(s) must submit a completed application, which is available in
our Moodle (in "All Forms").
Amount: EUR 1,050 per month
Duration: up to 6 months
The scholar will not be provided with office space at the university.
The scholar may not have received financial support for the doctoral
project for more than two years (through contractual employment with the
university, a third party, or a fellowship) and not within the six
months prior to application.
At the time of application, work on the dissertation must have
progressed to the point where it can be realistically expected that the
dissertation can be submitted by the end of the funding period (maximum
6 months).
Multiple funding from other organizations or the university is excluded.
Recipients are responsible for all taxes and insurance during the
fellowship period and are advised that any net annual income in excess
of EUR 8,580 will be taxable.
The scholarship will be considered as "income from self-employment".
Dear VDP members,
Let me kindly draw your attention to this good opportunity. For those of
you who are new in the VDP, please keep in mind that you can apply for
conference participation grants if you are active participants.
Kindly regards,
Raphael

Dear all,
our next speaker in the Philosophy of Science Colloquium organized by the Institute Vienna Circle is Georg Schiemer, who will give a talk on November 14, 4.45-6.15 pm.
All are welcome!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Philosophy of Science Colloquium TALK: Georg Schiemer
On two types of instrumental devices
Philosophy of Science Colloquium
The Institute Vienna Circle holds a Philosophy of Science Colloquium with talks by our present fellows.
Date: 14/11/2024
Time: 16h45
Venue: New Institute Building (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien, HS 2G
Abstract:
Instrumental devices are linguistic expressions that are formal or non-representational but nevertheless indispensable or at least instrumentally useful for certain theoretical purposes. We give a systematic study of such expressions and their roles in theorizing, thus offering a unified treatment of instrumental devices across different philosophical areas. Specifically, we present an explication of two general types of such devices, namely merely expressive devices and merely inferential devices and discuss their respective theoretical roles based on a number of philosophical examples. Joint work with Hannes Leitgeb (LMU Munich).
Summer School
Call for Applications
(Deadline: February 15, 2025)
23rd univie: summer school Scientific World Conceptions (USS-SWC)
The History and Epistemology of Econometrics
Vienna, July 7-11, 2025
https://summerschool-ivc.univie.ac.at/
Course Description
Models and their econometric estimation play an increasingly important role
in modern economic and political life. From macroeconomic policy and
financial regulation to public health and climate policy, models contribute
to shaping policies. The generation of ever more data is likely to support
the proliferation of models and econometrics. Research resources in academia
focus on the theoretical foundations of the underlying model and on the
statistical methods of econometrics; much less attention is devoted to the
epistemological challenges of the underlying concepts, the normative
challenges of the everyday work with econometrics, and the application of
its results in policy decisions and evaluation.
The objective of this program is to increase attention amongst philosophers
of science, academic economists, and empirical economists in policy
institutions (eg, central banks) to these issues.
The course is also structured around a particular point of
view namely, that economics is a science of models and that most of the
main features of econometrics relate generally to the role of models in
science.
Topics will be selected reflecting participants interests and may include:
* History of econometrics to frame the philosophical issues to be
discussed in the course
* The Vienna Circle and econometrics
* Values and Ethical Pitfalls in econometric research
* Key philosophical issues of how models relate to the world and how
they relate to each other
* Data: observation, classification, and measurement of economic
variables from a modeling point of view
* Conceptual issues related to modeling randomness
* The identification problem: how possibly, if at all possible, to
map descriptive relations onto theoretical variables?
* Issues related to optional stopping, search methodologies, and the
proper interpretation of results obtained through search
* Different approaches to the nature of causation and different
strategies of causal inference
* The conceptual basis of graphical causal modeling and controlled,
natural, and field experiments
* The conceptual issues surrounding the problem of model
uncertainty, as well as some of the strategies economists use to address it
Main Lecturers:
Kevin D. Hoover (Duke University)
Kevin D. Hoover is Professor of Economics and Philosophy and Senior Fellow
of the Center for the History of Political Economy at Duke University. He
is the editor of the journal History of Political Economy and a past editor
of the Journal of Economic Methodology. His current research addresses
causality, causal inference in economics, the history of macroeconomics,
philosophical issues related to the microfoundations of macroeconomics, and
the engagement with economics of the American pragmatist philosopher
Charles. S. Peirce. He is the author of The New Classical Macroeconomics,
the Methodology of Empirical Macroeconomics, Causality in Macroeconomics,
Applied Intermediate Macroeconomics, as well as many articles in monetary
and macroeconomics, the history of economics, the philosophy of economics,
and applied econometrics.
Jennifer Jhun (Duke University)
Jennifer Jhun is an Assistant Professor in the Philosophy Department at Duke
University, as well as a Senior Fellow of the Center for the History of
Political Economy. She holds a PhD in Philosophy from the University of
Pittsburgh. Her main research interests are in the philosophy of science,
especially philosophy of economics, but also in issues in other areas, such
as psychology and physics. She is currently engaged on a project that
investigates antitrust from a historical and philosophy-of-science
perspective: Whats the Point of ceteris Paribus? or, How to Understand
Supply and Demand Curves. Philosophy of Science 85, no. 2 (2018): 271-292;
Economics, Equilibrium Methods, and Multi-scale Modeling. Erkenntnis 86,
no. 2 (2021): 457-472; Multi-Model Reasoning in Economics: The Case of
COMPASS. Philosophy of Science 90, no. 4 (2023): 836-854; Implied Market
Shares and Antitrust Markets as Fuzzy Sets. Forthcoming at The Antitrust
Bulletin. (Joint with Matthew Panhans, Federal Trade Commission)
Guest Lecturer:
Marcel Boumans (University of Utrecht)
Marcel Boumans is historian and philosopher of science at Utrecht
University. His main research focus is on understanding empirical research
practices in science outside the lab from a philosophy of
science-in-practice perspective. He is particularly interested in the
practices of measurement and modelling and the role of mathematics in social
science. The first step in these practices is to make sense of the available
data. Visualisations play an important role in this. His current research
project Vision and Visualisation is nearing completion with a book
manuscript Shaping the Phenomena.
The program is primarily directed at graduate students and junior
researchers in philosophy of science and economics as well as empirical
economists at policy institutions (eg, central banks) but the organizers
also encourage applications from people in all stages of their career and
from fields other than economics that apply advanced econometrics.

(5) STELLENAUSSCHREIBUNG (Zürich, Deadline: 20.01.2025)
PhD Position in Philosophy at the University of Zurich
The Institute of Philosophy at the University of Zurich offers a 4-year
funded PhD position under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Michael Messerli.
_Brief Description of the Project_
Human motivations sometimes change. A travel lover stops flying to
distant places in the face of climate change. A politician begins to
seek power instead of justice. Sometimes changing preferences seems to
be a good thing; at other times, it appears regrettable. How we evaluate
such changes is an important question. At the same time, we must
understand how preference change comes about in the first place. Why do
one person's preferences change in response to a given situation when
the preferences of another person - in a similar situation - do not?
When is it rational to change one's preferences?
Despite its strengths, standard decision theory cannot answer these
questions. That is, it cannot describe fundamental preference changes.
This calls for a paradigm shift in the relevant academic disciplines.
However, it is only recently that decision theorists have started to
develop new approaches to examining the question of preference change.
Furthermore, crucial normative issues have been neglected. For example,
once we better understand preference change, some might suggest that we
should try to change people's preferences, building on recent
influential research concerning changing the behavior and choices of
individuals via "nudges" or by modifying the "choice-architecture."
This project will adopt a conceptual, model-building, rational and
normative approach to motivational change and develop and empirically
test an original model of preference change. Its main objectives are:
(1) To understand motivational change better, both descriptively and
conceptually (What is motivational change? How should motivational
change be modeled?)
(2) To develop an original model of motivational change - the
"commitment-based theory" - and test whether it is normatively and
descriptively adequate (Does the theory stand up to normative testing?
Does the theory make correct predictions?)
(3) To explore and evaluate the normative dimensions of preference
change (When is a preference change rational? Are there other normative
constraints on motivational change? Are adaptive preferences rational?
Why are adaptive preferences so relevant in the context of current
feminist philosophy? Should we change people's preferences?)
_PhD Project_
In tackling some of these problems, the applicant can work within the
following areas:
- Nudging
- Adaptive Preferences
- Ethics
- Rationality
- Value Theory
- Decision Theory
- Other topic related to the project on Motivational Change
_Scientific Requirements_
The candidate should:
- Have a Master's degree in philosophy at the moment of starting the PhD
position
- Have a strong analytical background
- Be an independent thinker, enthusiastic and physically present
- Be socially competent and motivated to work with people in the
Department
_Salary _
The PhD position is fully funded for 4 years.
_How to Apply_

Synthese: New Waves in Hinge Epistemology (Topical Collection)
_Guest Editor(s):_ Jakob Ohlhorst - VU Amsterdam, Andrew Sherrod -
University of Glasgow, Martin Miragoli - University of Glasgow, Nikolaj
Pedersen - Yonsei University
_Topical Collection Description: _In recent years, a new idea has taken
root in contemporary epistemological theorising that proposes a shift of
attention from singular beliefs of individual agents to maintenance
practices of entire belief systems. This new perspective, going back to
Ludwig Wittgenstein's late work, takes its moves from the key assumption
that our belief systems are ultimately supported by sets of unquestioned
pre-theoretical presuppositions, which function as the hinges of our
systems of thought. Hinge Epistemology, as the area of research
sprouting from this basic model has come to be known, has taken a more
applied and interdisciplinary turn in recent years. Drawing on cognitive
scientific theories, hinges have been compared to procedural knowledge,
drawing on feminist theory and social science, they have been compared
with prejudices. Additionally, hinge epistemologists have engaged with
the Moorean concept of common knowledge.
_Appropriate Topics for Submission include, among others: _
* How do hinges relate to non-standard, non-JTB, kinds of knowledge?
* What role do hinges play for political disagreement?
* How can hinges be applied in cognitive scientific models?
* What role do hinges play in pedagogical contexts?
* What is the ethics of hinge epistemology?
For further information, please contact the guest editor(s):
j.ohlhorst2(a)vu.nl;
The deadline for submissions is 01.04.2025. Submissions to the Topical
Collection will be subject to the normal Synthese review process.

(10) VERANSTALTUNGSANKÜNDIGUNG (Groningen & Online, 09-10.01.2025,
Registration Deadline: 29.12.2024)
Climate Change and the Long-Term Future - a PPE Winter School (online)
Date: January 9 - January 10, 2025
Location: online; hosted by the Faculty of Philosophy and Centre for PPE
at the University of Groningen
More information: link [4]
After several successful installments, the Faculty of Philosophy of the
University of Groningen [5] will host its yearly Winter School, aimed
primarily at advanced undergraduate students and early-stage graduate
students. The theme of the Winter School is Climate Change and the
Long-Term Future. It will consist of 6 lecture tutorials where topics
related to the theme will be discussed from different disciplinary
viewpoints: Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE). To facilitate
attendance by people from outside the Netherlands and Europe, the winter
school will be held online.
_Theme_
Climate change is among the biggest challenges humanity faces today. How
should individuals, societies, and humanity at large respond to climate
change and other long-term challenges? Far from being a question for the
natural sciences alone, a good answer also requires a 'PPE perspective',
that is, a perspective that combines philosophy, politics, and
economics. In this winter school, different researchers will take a PPE
perspective in exploring climate change and our ethical and political
obligations towards future people. The winter school starts with
fundamental normative questions, such as: What are our moral obligations
to future people? Do they extend to all future people and, if so, does
this imply that our longtermist moral duties trump any short-term
concerns? Climate change mitigation is typically seen as a collective
action problem and calls for an institutional solution that facilitates
widespread cooperation among individuals and countries. But what exactly
makes for successful and sustainable institutions? And a
social-psychological perspective will ask: what explains people's
attitudes and actions towards the environment and future generations and
how can those be improved? How can democracies respond to wide
disagreement around climate impacts and appropriate mitigation measures?
And, finally, what are effective solutions to securing a sustainable
energy supply? For example, should such a mix include nuclear energy?
And are European carbon pricing initiatives on the right track?
_Programme _
Prof Lisa Herzog [6], 'Climate Science and Democracy - Considerations
from Political Epistemology'
Prof Frank Hindriks [7], 'Sustainable institutions'
Prof Marijke Leliveld [8], 'Sustainability and other moral behavior: a
psychological perspective'
Prof Edwin Woerdman [9], 'Carbon pricing policies in the EU: a law and
economics perspective'
Prof Simon Friederich [10], 'Climate change as a collective action
problem and the importance of very cheap energy'
Prof Andreas T. Schmidt [11], 'Longtermism and our duty towards
far-future people'
The winter school is aimed at advanced undergraduate students and
early-stage graduate students. It also offers students interested in
studying the PPE Master [12] in Groningen an insight into the kinds of
teaching and research done at the PPE Centre.
_Registration_
To register, send us an email, letting us know your name, affiliation,
and what you study (which subject and whether you are an undergraduate
