Ausschreibung: Praedoc (6066)

by Sophie Juliane Veigl

Call for Applications: PhD in Philosophy at the University of Vienna (30h/week, 4 years) The FWF-funded research project “Bodies of Knowledge: Use-Based Expertise Beyond Biomedicine” – PI: Sophie Juliane Veigl – invites applications for a fully funded PhD Position. Expected Start Date: Dec 2026 (with some flexibility) About: Waning trust in science is often framed as a crisis of expertise. Yet many communities beyond institutionalized medicine produce sophisticated forms of knowledge through their engagement with biomedical technologies. But are these knowers experts? And can current philosophical understandings of expertise account for these forms of knowledge? Bodies of Knowledge investigates how expertise is produced and negotiated in communities that engage with steroid hormones beyond conventional healthcare settings. Through a participatory research design, the project integrates qualitative social science methods with philosophical analysis. Current case studies examine steroid hormone use by bodybuilders (PI-led) and DIY gender-affirming care (Postdoc-led). The PhD Project: The successful applicant will develop an original doctoral project within the broader research agenda of Bodies of Knowledge. Applicants are invited to propose an empirical case study of a community that uses steroid hormones. The proposed project may build on one of the existing empirical contexts or investigate another community. Applications should outline a case study the applicant would be excited to pursue, explain its relevance for the project, and outline how the applicant envisions approaching it empirically and philosophically. The doctoral researcher will be supervised by Sophie Juliane Veigl. interested? more details on the post can be found on the application website: https://jobs.univie.ac.at/job/PhD-Position-in-Philosophy-in-FWF-Project-Bod… If you have any questions, please contact: sophie.juliane.veigl(a)univie.ac.at -- Dr. Sophie Juliane Veigl, BSc., BA., MSc., MA.

REMINDER Call for Papers (17th July) - Myth and the More-than-Human Community in the Twenty-First Century – Vienna, 8–9 October 2026

by Lukas Geiszler

Dear colleagues, with the deadline drawing closer, I would like to remind you of a Call for Papers that may be of interest to those working at the intersection of philosophy, religious studies, political theory, and more-than-human ecology. The workshop /Myth and the More-than-Human Community in the Twenty-First Century/ will take place on 8–9 October 2026 at the University of Vienna, with keynote lectures by Prof. Vanessa Lemm and Prof. Laurens ten Kate. The workshop asks whether community — and more-than-human community in particular — can be conceived as anything other than a myth. It places the constitutive ambivalence of myth at the centre of its inquiry: myth as ideological fiction on the one hand, and as a primordial, potentially non-hierarchical form of world-disclosure on the other. Topics include inter-species relations, ecological entanglements, becoming-animal, sovereignty and immunisation, and relational and Indigenous ontologies. Theoretical reference points include Derrida, Nancy, Latour, Haraway, and Nietzschean and post-Nietzschean critiques of humanism. Find the full CfP attached. Contributions may take the form of individual papers (20 minutes, followed by 30 minutes of discussion). Proposals should include the presenter’s name, paper title, full contact details, an abstract of 500 words, and a brief biographical note — submitted as a single PDF file. Deadline: 17 July 2026 Contact: myth.community(a)lists.univie.ac.at Website: https://phaenomenologie.univie.ac.at/forschung/myth-community/ Please feel free to share this call in your networks. Best wishes, Lukas Geiszler
