The Centre de recherche en Philosophie (https://phi.phisoc.ulb.be) based at the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB), Campus Solbosch, invites applications for a one-year PhD position (‘seed money’).
The research will be supervised by Arnaud Pelletier and carried out in the context of the awarded EOS project ‘Responses to Newton’s Mathematical-Experimental Paradigm in 18th-Century Philosophy’ (RENEW18). More information on the EOS project, jointly led by Karin de Boer (KU Leuven), Steffen Ducheyne (Vrije Universiteit Brussel), and Arnaud Pelletier (Université libre de Bruxelles), can be found here: www.renew18.be
Prospective candidates are invited to propose their own project provided that it engages meaningfully with the scope of RENEW18 (developments and/or debates in eighteenth-century philosophy related to the impact of Newton’s mathematical-experimental paradigm). The subproject will be carried out under the supervision of Prof. Arnaud Pelletier.
In addition to conducting independent research, the selected applicant is expected to participate in the organization of common activities such as team meetings, talks, workshops, and conferences. The working language within the consortium is English; the PhD thesis can be written in French or English.
As this is a 12-month position (with the possibility of extension up to 16 months), the successful candidate will be required to apply for additional external funding (in particular from the FNRS) during this period.
The successful candidate will be employed at ULB under the standard conditions. S/He will be offered a one-year fellowship. The fellowship provides for training opportunities, social and health benefits, office space, and a research budget.
