PhD-scholarships in Neurophilosophy
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-neurophilosophy-and-ethics-of-neurosciences) at the GSN.
Projects in the research center fall in the following areas:

• 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)
