Århus, Århus Kommune, Denmark Aarhus Universitet (AU) Full time

We are seeking a talented postdoctoral researcher to join our team at Aarhus University's Center for Philosophy and the Health Sciences. The successful candidate will be part of a project on epistemic rationality, mental disorder, and stigmatization, led by Professor Somogy Varga and conducted in collaboration with Associate Professor Anke Büter and Professor Asbjørn Steglich-Petersen.

The project aims to develop an integrated perspective on epistemic rationality, reevaluate the connection between rationality and mental health, and contribute to both understanding and mitigating stigmatization. The researcher will be expected to develop their research within the project's framework, present their findings at national and international events, and publish results in peer-reviewed scientific journals.

The ideal candidate will have a PhD in philosophy or psychology, specializing in epistemology and/or philosophy of psychiatry, and demonstrate expertise in the research topic. They will also be required to engage in close collaboration with the team and the local research environment, and contribute to team-taught courses. The application must include a project description, a concise statement of motivation, a maximum of five publications or submitted papers, and a teaching portfolio.

Aarhus University is committed to fostering a culture that values equality and diversity, and welcomes applications from all qualified candidates. The department is characterized by an undogmatic and open-minded worldview, and the researchers are involved in a variety of interdisciplinary projects within and outside the Faculty of Arts.

The application must outline the applicant's motivation for applying for the position, attaching a curriculum vitae, a teaching portfolio, a complete list of published works, copies of degree certificates, and examples of academic production. Aarhus University offers a junior researcher development programme targeted at career development for postdocs at AU.
