The position is offered in the context of RUB's program of "New Career 
Paths", enabling candidates to take up the position of an established 
researcher, starting with a limited tenure of 3 years and the 
possibility of renewal for further three years conditional upon 
evaluation. The offer addresses early career researchers who have 
already a proven track record of excellent research in the broad area of 
Philosophy of Mind or Philosophy of Cognitive Science.

Ruhr-Universität Bochum, one of the leading universities in Germany, 
provides the possibility to reach a degree of a 'Habilitation' if 
desired. The candidate will have the opportunity to develop their own 
research profile and group, embedded also in the 'Center for Mind and 
Cognition' and thus connected to researchers in other departments such 
as psychology, neuroscience, biology, and informatics. Both the 
Institute with its research groups and the Center with its many 
international visiting fellows provide an exciting vibrant environment 
and excellent facilities for research in this area.

The candidate is expected to develop their own research profile and 
project in the area of Philosophy of Mind/Cognition, publish their work 
in academic journals and submit applications for third party funding, 
contribute to teaching, and participate in the faculty's administration.

_Your tasks:_
* Development of an independent research project in Philosophy of Mind 
and/or Philosophy of Cognitive Science
* Publications in academic journals

* Teaching. Teaching can also be in English to support our international 
study programs, e.g., MA in Cognitive Science and MA in Philosophy: 
Focus Theoretical Philosophy.
* Participation in academic administration in the faculty

_Your profile:_
* Applicants are expected to have an excellent PhD in Philosophy and 
possess expertise in the Cognitive Sciences, documented by a 
representative publication record.
* They are interested in interdisciplinary research in this area and in 
developing new research projects.

_We offer:_
* Challenging and varied tasks with a high level of personal 
responsibility
* Team-oriented cooperation in a committed, international and 
appreciative team
* a friendly and collegial environment
* Options for flexible working

(3) CALL FOR PAPERS (Hannover, Deadline: 15.05.2025)
Student Conference: Science and Philosophy - Shared History, Diverging 
Paths?

We are pleased to announce the student conference _Science and 
Philosophy - Shared History, Diverging Paths?,_ which will take place on 
_25-26 July 2025_ at _Leibniz University Hannover. _

We invite _Bachelor's and Master's students_ to submit their abstracts. 
Participation in the conference is free for everyone and _some financial 
support is available for international participants._ Please find the 
full call for abstracts and more information in _our website [2]_. Feel 
free to contact us at _team(a)sciphihan.de_ with any questions.

Description:
The question of the relationship between philosophy and science is as 
old as the respective practices themselves. In recent debates, however, 
it may seem as if both have grown out of sync, talking past each other, 
often with little or no respect for each other's realm and method, their 
arguments and positions. Our conference focuses on three main themes to 
address this gap:

_I. HISTORICAL AND COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS_

We will examine _the relationship between philosophy and (the) 
science(s)_, their emergence, differing methods, and potential decline, 
_across different historical periods_, including, but not limited, to 
the _Western canon_ from ancient to contemporary philosophy.
Participants who are interested in _non-Western traditions_ (such as 
Islamicate or Buddhist philosophy) may submit a paper that does not 
correspond to the periodisation mentioned above.

_II. PHILOSOPHY OF THE SCIENCES_

In this section we address key thematic areas in _contemporary 
philosophy of scientific fields_, e.g. philosophy of biology, philosophy 
of physics, philosophy of the social sciences. These contributions 
should focus on the relationship between philosophy and one defined 
scientific field, and/or on the different methodologies and 
characteristics of the philosophy of the hard sciences vs the philosophy 
of the soft sciences.

_III. META-REFLECTION OF THE RELATIONSHIP OF PHILOSOPHY AND SCIENCE_

explore the respective _roles, boundaries, and evolving relationship 
between philosophy and science_, as well as emerging intersections 
between them.

Organisers: Johannes Baer, Anni Bukowski, Seung Hoon Hahm, Amir Latifi, 
Kristina Malzahn, and Paulina Oppermann

Secondary Qualities and the Epistemology of Perception

Workshop of the DFG Emmy-Noether Project 'A Sensible World'
_Secondary Qualities and the Epistemology of Perception_
Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, 10-11 April 2025

The workshop aims to discuss the relationship between theories of 
secondary qualities and the epistemology of perception, both 
historically (with the help of figures from the phenomenological 
tradition and early analytic philosophy) and theoretically. It is based 
on the idea that different accounts of secondary qualities are proper to 
create different epistemological problems concerning perception. In 
particular, eliminativists about colors, sounds, etc., have to explain 
to what extent our perception of physical reality is still veridical, 
while naive realists have to explain how our naive beliefs can be 
compatible with the conclusions of the natural sciences, especially 
physics, whose worldview includes nothing like colors, sounds, etc. as 
given to us in ordinary experience.

(6) VERANSTALTUNGSANKÜNDIGUNG (Hannover, 25-27.02.2026, Submission 
Deadline: 01.06.2025)
Phil-Econ-Model Lab, University of Hanover, 25-27 Feb 2026

Dear fellow economists and philosophers of economics,

We are pleased to invite you to our Phil-Econ-Model Lab (PEM-Lab), a 
workshop taking place from 25-27 February 2026 at the University of 
Hanover, Germany. With this workshop exclusively for early career 
scholars, we offer a venue for cutting-edge research at the interface of 
(a) philosophy of economics and (b) values in science debates. Namely, 
we want to investigate in-how-far non-epistemic value judgements enter 
the modelling process in economic models currently important in policy 
design.

We aim to create a unique collaborative environment aside from the 
beaten paths of conference sessions: rather than merely presenting 
worked-out proposals and finished papers, we want to think together 
about novel ideas and shape joint future projects in real-time. Thus, 
the PEM-Lab will consist of two distinct phases: First, a set of online 
reading group sessions to discuss the relevant literature in connection 
to our own research ideas taking place in January and February 2026. 
Here, we get to know each other and each other's work. Second, an 
in-person meeting in Hanover (Germany) at the end of February 2026 to 
deep-dive into debates where we have left off. The aim here is to foster 
international collaboration. Please find more information about the 
PEM-Lab's subject matter, structure, dates and other details here [4].

We encourage submissions from all early PhD students who are working on 
the nexus of values in science and models in economics regardless of the 
disciplinary affiliation. We especially encourage applications from PhD 
students from non-European and North American universities and ask for 
circulation in relevant communities if you happen to know some. We will 
assist attendees with visa applications, accommodation and are securing 
funding to provide travel grants for scholars without sufficient 
institutional means.

_Submission and Deadline_
Please prepare the following documents and submit your application 
through the application form [5]:
1.     A letter of motivation (max 800 words) including a brief summary 
of your previous academic work and a concise statement of what you want 
to learn and work on during the workshop. Note: this should not be a 
fleshed-out research proposal, novel and conceptual ideas are welcome!
2.     A CV

Submission Deadline: 1 June 2025

Decisions communicated by: 1 July 2025

Please visit the project's web page for more details regarding the 
selection process.

_Date and Location_
[Online] Informal Get-together: December 2025
[Online] Reading group and presentation sessions: 07 January 2026, 21 
January 2026, 04 February 2026 and 18 February 2026
