by July 18, 2012. Please indicate for which of the three position you apply and let us know whether or not you are also considering a Postdoctoral Fellowship (see below). Applications by email are much preferred (ideally with everything requested in one PDF document). Additionally, two confidential letters of reference addressing the applicant's qualifications for academic research should be sent to the same address from the referees directly.
The
successful candidates will partake in all of MCMP's academic activities
and enjoy its administrative facilities and financial support. In this
round of advertisements, we are especially interested in candidates who
work in the following areas: general philosophy of science (formal and
non-formal), philosophy of physics, philosophy of psychology, philosophy
of social science, philosophy of economics, formal epistemology, social
epistemology (formal and non-formal), individual and collective
decision theory, modeling and simulation in philosophy, and experimental
philosophy, but we are also open to candidates who apply formal methods
in metaphysics, moral and political philosophy or any other part of
philosophy.
The fellowships are open for candidates with a PhD in philosophy as well as for candidates with a PhD in a natural or social science who have foundational and/or methodological research interests (please explain in the letter). The postdoctoral stipends are for three years, and they should be taken up by October 1, 2012, but a later starting date is also possible. (Please let us know if you wish to start at a later date.) Each stipend will amount to EUR 2400 of monthly salary (normally tax-free, but excluding insurance). Additionally, the MCMP helps its fellows with the costs that arise from attending conferences (fees, traveling, accommodation). There is the possibility, though no obligation, to do some teaching in either English or German.

Deadline: July 18, 2012
Starting date: October 1, 2012 (or later)
The Chair
of Philosophy of Science focuses on general philosophy of science and
the philosophy of the natural and social sciences. We are especially
interested in conducting joint research projects with colleagues from
other faculties at LMU and elsewhere.
The
MCMP is devoted to applications of logical, mathematical, and
computational methods in philosophy. It was established in 2010 and is
generously supported by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation through
two Alexander von Humboldt professorships. Directed by Professor Stephan
Hartmann and Professor Hannes Leitgeb, who founded the MCMP, the MCMP
hosts a vibrant research community of university faculty, postdoctoral
fellows, doctoral fellows, master students, and visiting fellows. The
MCMP organizes at least two weekly colloquia and a weekly internal
work in-progress seminar, as well as various other activities such as
workshops, conferences, and reading groups. For more information, see
The official language at the Chair and at the MCMP is English and fluency in German is not mandatory.
We
especially encourage female scholars to apply. The LMU in general, and
the Chair of Philosophy of Science and the MCMP in particular, endeavor
to raise the percentage of women among its academic
personnel. Furthermore, given equal qualification, severely physically
challenged individuals will be preferred.
--------------------
1. Three Assistant Professorships
Candidates
are expected to have the following areas of specialization. Position 1:
Philosophy of science with an emphasis in the philosophy of physics.
Position 2: Philosophy of science with an emphasis in the philosophy of
psychology and/or the social sciences and/or economics. Position 3:
Modeling and simulation in philosophy. The areas of competence are open.
The
positions are for three years with the possibility of extension. The
appointment will be made within the German A13 salary scheme (under
the assumption that the civil service requirements are met), which means
that one has the rights and perks of a civil servant. The starting date
is October 1, 2012, but a later starting date is also possible. (Please
let us know if you wish to start at a later date.)
The
appointee will be expected (i) to do philosophical research in the
specified AOS and lead the respective group, (ii) to teach five hours a
week in philosophy of science and/or a related field, and (iii) to take
on management tasks. The successful candidate will have a PhD
in philosophy and teaching experience in philosophy.
Applications (including a cover letter that addresses, amongst others, one's academic background and research interests, CV, certificates, list of publications, a sample of written work, and a 3-page description of planned research projects) should be sent to
