******************************************
(1) STELLENAUSSCHREIBUNG (München, Deadline: 17.02.2025)
PhD-scholarships in Neurophilosophy (LMU-GSN)
The Graduate School of Systemic Neurosciences (GSN) at LMU Munich
invites applications for several PhD scholarships in Neurophilosophy.
The GSN is the teaching entity for the Munich Center of Neurosciences -
Brain & Mind (MCN). Through creating an interdisciplinary network of
research the GSN provides a stimulating environment for students and
faculty to produce novel formulations of current concepts and theories.
Successful applicants will be affiliated with the Research Center for
Neurophilosophy and Ethics of Neurosciences
(https://www.philosophie.lmu.de/en/faculty/research-center-for-neurophilosop…)
at the GSN.
Projects in the research center fall in the following areas:
* philosophy of cognitive neuroscience (explanation, reduction)
* philosophy and cognitive science of agency (mental causation, free
will, moral psychology, abilities)
* philosophy and cognitive science of reasoning (e.g. deductive and
non-deductive reasoning, logic and neural networks, decision making)
* ethics of neuroscience (research ethics, enhancement)
* philosophy of perception
* philosophy and social cognition
In the new application round we encourage applications in smaller focus
areas in order to build research groups. In the 2024/25 round the focus
areas are:
* human agency (esp. mental causation, complex action, multi-tasking,
attention, reductive and non-reductive explanation of agency)
* metacognition (esp. Metacognition in perception, self-evaluation and
sense of self)
* group cognition (group epistemology, collective decisions and group
responsibility)
However, single exceptional and independent projects in one of the other
areas are also encouraged.
Applicants should have advanced training in philosophy (typically a
Master's degree in philosophy) and a genuine interest in the
neurosciences. This includes the willingness to acquire substantial
knowledge of empirical work relevant to their philosophical project.
Cooperative projects with empirical scientists in the network of the MCN
are strongly encouraged.
The application period opened on December 1st 2024 and will close on
February 17th 2025, (12:00 noon CET).
Please check our website
(https://www.philosophie.lmu.de/en/faculty/research-center-for-neurophilosop…)
and the GSN website
(https://www.gsn.uni-muenchen.de/apply/how_to_apply_active/index.html)
for details concerning the application procedure. The application
includes an outline of your proposed research project, a CV, an official
transcript of your academic work (list of attended courses; grades),
diplomas and two separate academic reference letters. Please also name
two potential supervisors (possibly including one non-philosopher) from
the core or affiliated neurophilosophy faculty of the GSN.
