(1) STELLENAUSSCHREIBUNG (Karlsruhe, Deadline: 15.01.2025)
PhD Position: Social and ethical aspects of sustainability analysis of
battery raw materials
The Graduate School KLIREC is offering a PhD position at the Karlsruhe
Institute of Technology, KIT, on the _social and ethical aspects of
sustainability analysis of battery raw materials_ at the earliest
possible time. The duration of the position is one year, and an
extension is scheduled for another two years based on a positive
evaluation after the first year.
This interdisciplinary PhD project is jointly supervised by Marcel Weil
(technology assessment) and Rafaela Hillerbrand (philosophy of
engineering and technology) and is part of the KLIREC graduate school
(https://www.hs-pforzheim.de/forschung/institute/inec/studium_promotion/klir…).
Batteries, as a versatile storage option for electricity, are seen as an
enabling technology of the energy transition towards renewables, both
for the mobility sector and for ensuring the electric grid's stability.
At present, lithium-ion batteries are widely used, especially in the
mobility and stationary application sectors. Lithium-ion batteries
contain critical raw materials like e.g., cobalt, nickel, copper, and
graphite, besides lithium. However, the extraction of these metals may
have adverse social and environmental impacts. While the latter are
addressed to some extent in sustainability assessments, there is not
much work yet on the ethical aspects of extraction and usage,
particularly regarding circular economy frameworks. This PhD project is
meant to fill this research gap and connect quantitative environmental
sustainability research with qualitative ethical research. A particular
focus shall be placed on international justice aspects within energy
ethics.
We offer a 1-year contract with the possibility of an extension of
another 2 years within KLIREC and affiliation with ITAS (Institute for
Technology Assessment and Systems Analysis), KIT. You will participate
in the graduate school training program and join a research group at
ITAS.
ITAS offers a lively inter- and transdisciplinary research environment
for technology assessment with a strong focus, amongst others, on
sustainability analysis of emerging energy technologies, life cycle
analysis, and philosophy of engineering and technology.
What we are looking for: You should have a strong background and hold a
master's degree in applied ethics, preferably ethics of engineering and
technology, or in technology assessment, preferably life cycle analysis
(LCA)/material flow analysis (MFA) and have a very strong interest in
the respective other field. You are fluent in English and highly
motivated to work in an interdisciplinary environment and be able to do
independent research. Experience in interdisciplinary collaborations is
helpful.
Please send your application _by 15.1.2025_ with the usual documents
(CV, including three contact persons for a letter of reference, and a
writing sample) in a single document to rafaela.hillerbrand(a)gmail.com in
an email with the header "KLIREC 2024".
For any questions about this position, please contact:

(6) CALL FOR PAPERS (Norwich, Deadline: 01.03.2025)
Workshop: Experimental argument analysis
Workshop: Experimental argument analysis: Interdisciplinary perspectives
on verbal reasoning
July 9-10, 2025
University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK.
Keynote: Edouard Machery (Pittsburgh)
This satellite workshop of the 5th European Experimental Philosophy
Conference brings together experimental philosophers, cognitive
psychologists, and experimental linguists, to open up the experimental
philosophy of verbal reasoning as a new interdisciplinary field of
study. Three slots are reserved for submitted papers. Accommodation
costs of presenters will be covered. Submission deadlines for 500-word
abstracts: _March 1st, 2025_. Programme and submission link:
https://x-phi.uea.ac.uk/EAA2025-workshop/
_Questions:_
_* Methods:_ How can empirical studies support the reconstruction or
evaluation of verbal reasoning? Which conceptual and empirical tools can
be adapted for this purpose and how? How can formal and experimental
methods be combined to facilitate normative evaluation?
_* Mechanisms:_ How do automatic comprehension and production inferences
shape verbal reasoning? What biases affect such inferences? Which
factors affect specifically the contextualization of default inferences?
How are irregular polysemes processed? What norms do people rely on for
specific arguments of interest? How much individual variation is there
in this respect?
_* Applications:_ How can insights into language processing, and
specifically polysemy processing, support the assessment of
philosophical arguments? How effective are verbal arguments at changing
people's minds? Which aspects of automatic language processing influence
the persuasiveness of verbal arguments? To what extent do such arguments
contribute to philosophical puzzles and paradoxes? How can insight into
automatic language processing support the improvement of our conceptual
tools?
