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

Aarhus University's Department of Philosophy and History of Ideas invites applications for two fixed-term postdoctoral positions in philosophy, each lasting two to three years. The positions are full-time and begin as soon as possible.

Project Overview

We seek innovative researchers with a background in philosophy or psychology, specializing in epistemology and/or philosophy of psychiatry. You will be part of a project on epistemic rationality, mental disorder, and stigmatization (funded by the Velux Foundation), led by PI Professor Somogy Varga and conducted in collaboration with Co-PIs Associate Professor Anke Büter and Professor Asbjørn Steglich-Petersen.

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

Your Role
  • You will develop your research within the general framework of the project, in close cooperation with the project team.
  • You will present your research at national and international events and publish results in peer-reviewed, international scientific journals in a timely fashion.
  • You will actively participate in the daily on-site working environment at Aarhus University.
  • You will collaborate with team members, for instance by co-authoring articles and reviewing relevant literature.
  • You will initiate and help to organise research workshops, conferences, and other such activities.
