The positions are full-time (37 hours/week) and will commence on January 1, 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter.

The project aims to enhance our understanding of forms of irrationality identified by scholarly literature as significant in diagnosing and explaining mental disorders. It will seek to develop an integrated perspective on epistemic rationality, reevaluate the connection between rationality and mental health, and contribute to both understanding and mitigating stigmatization.

As a postdoctoral researcher, you will be part of a team led by PI Professor Somogy Varga and conducted in collaboration with Co-PIs Associate Professor Anke Büter and Professor Asbjørn Steglich-Petersen. You will be anchored at the Center for Philosophy and the Health Sciences, at the Department of Philosophy and History of Ideas, Aarhus University.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Develop your research within the general framework of the project, in close cooperation with the project team.
  • Present your research at national and international events and publish results in peer-reviewed, international scientific journals in a timely fashion.
  • Actively participate in the daily on-site working environment at Aarhus University.
  • Collaborate with team members, for instance, by co-authoring articles and reviewing relevant literature.
  • Initiate and help to organize research workshops, conferences, and other such activities.
  • Be willing to contribute to team-taught courses.
Qualifications and Requirements:

You must hold a PhD degree in philosophy or be at PhD level, and be able to document expertise in the research topic, an international and relevant research profile of high international quality, the ability and willingness to engage in close collaboration with the team and the local research environment, and fluency in written and spoken English.
