Postdoc research assistant at Royal Holloway

Full-Time, Fixed-Term (to 31/08/2025)

Applications are invited for the post of Postdoctoral Research Assistant in the Department of Mathematics at Royal Holloway.

Christopher Fuchs, Jacques Pienaar, and Rüdiger Schack are seeking a postdoctoral researcher for a recently awarded John Templeton Foundation grant to set up a three-year international consortium to explore, “What is Metrology if Quantum Measurements Participate in Making Reality?” QBism is part of the subject of research, but not exclusively so, as the grant is based upon a healthy debate between a number of parties.

JOB: 3-year Postdoc Fellowship in Philosophy of Physics, USI, Lugano

The postdoc will work at the Institute of Philosophy at USI, Lugano (Switzerland), under the supervision of Professor Damiano Costa in the framework of the SNSF funded Starting Grant project ‘Temporal Existence’. A brief description of the project is provided below.

The approximate gross salary will be CHF 75’000 CHF per year.

The tentative starting date is flexible (earliest starting date is May 1, 2024).

PoliMi: Post-doc in Philosophy of Physics

A 24-month post-doctoral fellowships in philosophy of physics is opening in the Department of Mathematics at the Politecnico di Milano (PoliMi). The position is funded under the PRIN 2022 grant on “Analogical Reasoning in Contemporary Physical Theories”, which is led by Giovanni Valente (Politecnico di Milano) in collaboration with the philosophy of science group at University of Urbino directed by Prof. Vincenzo Fano. The project aims to explore the force and plausibility of analogical inferences in case studies from quantum field theory and black-holes physics. 

Two Postdoc Positions (full-time) and up to 5 Visiting Fellowships in History and Philosophy of Physics at the University of Bonn

The University of Bonn is an international research university offering a broad range of subjects. With a 200-year history, some 35,000 students, more than 6,000 employees, and an outstanding reputation in Germany and abroad, the University of Bonn is one of the leading universities in Germany and has been awarded the status of a University of Excellence.

Bonn: Postdoc in History and Philosophy of Physics

The Lichtenberg Group for History and Philosophy of Physics at the Institute of Philosophy is seeking a

Postdoctoral Fellow (full-time)

for an initial employment of three years, with the possibility of an extension for two years.

We invite applications for a postdoctoral fellowship in history and philosophy of physics. The advertised position is part of the ERC Consolidator grant “The Centre of Gravity Project” (PI: Dennis Lehmkuhl), which will investigate the Renaissance of General Relativity between 1955 and 1975, and how this era gave rise to entirely new mathematical methods, concepts — like that of a black hole — and ways of thinking about gravity and spacetime structure. The position can be taken up from 1 October 2023, but a later starting date is also possible.

Balzan PhD and Postdoc positions in “Historical and philosophical aspects of solving the two-body problem in General Relativity”

The Astrophysical and Cosmological Relativity Department, led by Alessandra Buonanno, at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute) in Potsdam, in collaboration with the Lichtenberg Group for History and Philosophy of Physics at the University of Bonn, led by Dennis Lehmkuhl, and the Department I and Max Planck Research Group “Final Theory Program” at the Max Planck Institute for History of Science, led by Jürgen Renn and Alexander Blum, respectively, is seeking a PhD student and a Postdoctoral Fellow. The positions will start in the fall of 2023, and they are fully supported by the 2021 Balzan Prize Funds with possible funds from the Lichtenberg Group.

Two postdoc positions in History and Philosophy of Physics or Science

In these Postdoc positions you will join Guido Bacciagaluppi who recently was awarded an ERC Advanced Grant for the project ‘BOHR21: Niels Bohr for the 21st Century’. Bohr was a central figure in the development of 20th-century physics, but his thought is difficult to understand, its reception has been fraught with misunderstandings, and its contemporary relevance is still unclear. 

PostDoc & PhD Position, Philosophy/Foundations of Physics, Utrecht

Utrecht University is advertising a PostDoc and a PhD position in philosophy of physics and/or foundations of physics and/or metaphysics of science, in the context of the ERC project “COSMO-MASTER” led by Niels Martens.
