The LanCog Research Group [2], University of Lisbon, welcomes
expressions of interest from suitably qualified candidates interested in
applying for 3-year research positions funded by the Fundação para a
Ciência e a Tecnologia [3] (FCT).
The FCT is the Portuguese national funding agency for academic research
and development. In 2026, the FCT will fund the hiring of 400
researchers, holders of PhDs at various stages of career, to carry out
their activity in research centres throughout Portugal. The selected
researchers are hired by the host institution through a contract between
the host and the FCT, which guarantees the funding. In the previous
edition, 18 positions have gone to philosophers, and LanCog has a very
strong record of supporting successful candidates.
The FCT will accept applications until January 29, 2026 (17:00 Lisbon
time). Candidates will apply online directly to the FCT, but their
application must be supported by a host institution.
The application, written in English, must include the following:
- A research plan, including a description of the main activities to be
undertaken, the expected results, as well as an indication of how the
research project fits with (at least one of) the goals set out in the
United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development [4];
- A brief description of previous academic and scientific experience,
highlighting the main activities and results obtained in the last 5
years;
- Curriculum vitae;
- A plan for the development of the candidate's career, including a
description of the main scientific goals and how this position would
contribute to their achievement;
- A brief description of the conditions provided by the host institution
and of how the proposed research plan fits into the overall strategy of
the research centre.
Applications will be assessed by an international panel, according to
the following two criteria:
- The candidate's CV;
- The proposed research plan.
The applicant is responsible for choosing the appropriate category in
which to apply (Junior: up to 5 years' experience, Assistant: open to
all applicants but is correspondingly far more competitive):
Junior researcher: PhD holders with up to 5 years of post-doctoral
experience in the scientific area of application - 2.351,53EUR gross
wage (c. 1785EUR/month net*);
Assistant researcher: PhD holders with relevant experience
(independently of its duration) in the scientific area of application -
3.501,28EUR gross wage (c. 2362EUR / month net*).
It is mandatory to upload the doctoral diploma. In order to comply with
the Portuguese legislation concerning the recognition of foreign
qualifications, all the doctoral degrees granted by foreign higher
education institutions must be duly recognized. Applicants are advised
to visit the website of the Direção-Geral do Ensino Superior (DGES) for
further information:
https://www.dges.gov.pt/en/pagina/degree-and-diploma-recognition.
If possible, the recognition certificate (or proof that one has been
requested) should be uploaded together with the diploma. Applications
will be considered even if the recognition certificate is not available.
However, the recognition must be obtained before signing the contract.
More information about the call, including a link to the application
portal, is available here [5].
Interested candidates are invited to contact Dr. David Yates (at
david.yates(a)edu.ulisboa.pt), with a brief description of their intended
research and current CV no later than January 7.

previous coursework. Relevant background in philosophy is philosophy of
physics, general philosophy of science, and metaphysics; in physics, it
includes general relativity, quantum theory, and, if possible, quantum
field theory and quantum gravity.
It should be noted that candidates are not expected to contribute to
*all* aspects of the project (see below).
For all posts, candidates must have excellent communication skills in
English. Proficiency in French is not necessary at the time of
application (but PhD candidates will eventually have to pass a French
exam before submitting their thesis).
Applications from members of groups that are currently underrepresented
in academic philosophy are strongly encouraged.

Call for Papers (Kirchberg am Wechsel, Deadline: 07.04.2026)
Konferenz (studentische Veranstaltung): 50 Years International
Wittgenstein Symposium
50 Years International Wittgenstein Symposium
Scientific Organisers: Christian Kanzian (Innsbruck), Volker Munz
(Klagenfurt), Joseph Wang-Kathrein (Innsbruck), Anja Weiberg (Vienna)
50 years have passed since the First International Wittgenstein
Symposium - at that time it was called "Wittgenstein-Tage" - took place
at "Hotel Post" in Kirchberg am Wechsel in Lower Austria. From April 24
to 26 1976, Elisabeth Leinfellner, Werner Leinfellner, Rudolf Haller,
Paul Weingartner, and Adolf Hübner gave presentations on Wittgenstein.
Their topics ranged from biographical remarks on Wittgenstein to
philosophy of language, logic, and philosophy of mathematics. Still
today, 50 years later, the impact of Ludwig Wittgenstein across various
disciplines and beyond can hardly be overstated. Wittgenstein's life and
philosophy not only form the basis of the work of countless
philosophers; but they also influenced scholars in other scientific
disciplines and inspired artists to create new works.
Each year, the International Wittgenstein Symposium in Kirchberg am
Wechsel (Austria) is dedicated to a different subject, bringing
Wittgenstein and Wittgensteinian philosophy into dialogue with other
areas of philosophical inquiry. The 2026 Symposium, however, is to be
devoted to Ludwig Wittgenstein and his work in celebration of the 50th
anniversary of the IWS. We welcome contributions to any of the following
sections:
* Ludwig Wittgenstein: Life - Work - Editions
* Ludwig Wittgenstein: Philosophy of Language, Philosophy of Science,
Epistemology
* Ludwig Wittgenstein: Logic and Philosophy of Mathematics
* Ludwig Wittgenstein: Philosophy of Psychology, Philosophy of Mind
* Ludwig Wittgenstein: Ethics, Aesthetics, Philosophy of Religion,
Philosophy of Culture
* Ludwig Wittgenstein: In Interdisciplinary Contexts (Literature,
Music, Visual Arts...)

Call for Papers (Sonderband, Deadline: 15.04.2026)
Zeitschrift für Praktische Philosophie: Privatsphäre in digitalen
Umgebungen
Call for Papers: Privatsphäre in digitalen Umgebungen
Der Schutz der Privatsphäre wird durch den zunehmenden Einsatz digitaler
Technologien und ihre Weiterentwicklung vor große Herausforderungen
gestellt. Big-Tech-Unternehmen wie Alphabet, Amazon oder Meta verfolgen
Geschäftsmodelle, die wesentlich auf der Erfassung und Verarbeitung
personenbezogener Daten beruhen. Diese Daten werden genutzt, um
Informationen über (potenzielle) Kund:innen zu erhalten und ihr
Verhalten beeinflussen zu können. Darüber hinaus verwenden staatliche
Behörden hochentwickelte Technologien der Datenintegration und -analyse
von Firmen wie Palantir oder Clearview AI, um ihre Sicherheitsinteressen
durchzusetzen und weitreichende Formen der digitalen Überwachung zu
etablieren.
Dabei wird die Privatsphäre zwar von vielen für wichtig und
schützenswert gehalten, während aber zugleich keine Einigkeit darüber
besteht, wie verschiedene Konzeptionen der Privatheit und ihres Werts zu
beurteilen sind, und nicht ausreichend reflektiert wird, inwiefern die
Privatsphäre angesichts neuer Technologien der Datenverarbeitung und
digitalen Überwachung besser geschützt werden sollte. Entsprechend ist
beispielsweise nicht klar, ob das Prinzip der informierten Einwilligung
dazu geeignet ist, im Umgang mit datenverarbeitenden Unternehmen einen
zufriedenstellenden Privatsphärenschutz zu gewährleisten. Dies lässt
sich unter anderem daran festmachen, dass verschiedene Personengruppen
aufgrund besonderer Vulnerabilitäten und ungleicher Kompetenzen
unterschiedlich gut dazu in der Lage sind, sich vor Verletzungen ihrer
Privatsphäre zu schützen.
Vor diesem Hintergrund lädt die _Zeitschrift für Praktische Philosophie_
dazu ein, philosophische Beiträge einzureichen, die sich etwa mit
folgenden Fragen auseinandersetzen:
* Welche Privatheitskonzeptionen oder Auffassungen zum Wert von
Privatheit erweisen sich angesichts neuer digitaler Technologien und
deren vielfältigem Einsatz als plausibel?
* Wie ist das sogenannte „Privacy Paradox" zu beurteilen, dem zufolge
Personen häufig behaupten, dass ihnen Privatsphäre wichtig sei, während
diese bei Entscheidungen zur Weitergabe persönlicher Daten keine große
Rolle zu spielen scheint?
* Wo liegen die Grenzen der informierten Einwilligung als Grundlage
für die Zulässigkeit der digitalen Erfassung und Verarbeitung
personenbezogener Daten?
* Soll der Privatsphärenschutz diversitätsgerecht gestaltet werden, so
dass die besonderen Bedürfnisse vulnerabler Gruppen ernst genommen
werden können?
* Inwiefern ist die Verarbeitung personenbezogener Daten mit Problemen
verbunden, die sich nur angehen lassen, wenn über das individuelle Recht
auf Privatsphäre hinausgedacht und etwa algorithmische Diskriminierung
oder Gruppenrechte einbezogen werden?
Die Einreichungsfrist für die Beiträge ist der 15.04.2026. Die
Veröffentlichung des Schwerpunkts ist für Winter 2026 geplant. Alle
eingereichten Beiträge durchlaufen den üblichen doppelt-blinden
Begutachtungsprozess. Die Einreichung erfolgt über die Webseite der
ZfPP, wo Sie auch Informationen zu Umfang und Gestaltung des Manuskripts
finden: https://www.praktische-philosophie.org.
