The Department of Philosophy and the Centre for the Study of Social Action (CSSA) at the University of Milan are delighted to announce the opening of a post-doctoral position on Acting Together: Coordination, Collective Goals, and Cooperation. The project, which is jointly led by Professors Hykel Hosni and Corrado Sinigaglia, spans formal and experimental methods and will put particular emphasis on minimalist approaches to coordination, shared agency, and cooperation.
Applicants are expected to have a strong inclination for interdisciplinary work and the potential for excellence in research and publications. There are no restrictions on the applicants’ PhD background, provided it’s relevant to the topic of the project. The appointment will be made initially for two years and it will be renewed for another two years subject to funding. After tax salary will be in the region of 20.000 Euros per year.
The fellow will be a member of the Center for the Study of Social Action and will participate in the wider research community of the Department of Philosophy, the second largest in the country. While the postdoctoral fellow will pursue sound philosophical research, the project is ideally suited to interdisciplinary collaboration with cognitive scientists, economists, mathematical and computational logicians.
The deadline for application is April 26th 2016. We refer potential applicants to the official call for applications. The application form is available here.
Note to non-Italian applicants. Please do not be discouraged by the “Call for application” document applying is a lot easier than it seems! You will need to attach
- a brief research proposal related to the topic of the project
- a detailed CV (highlighting your scientific achievements)
- an abstract of your PhD thesis (draft is OK if you haven’t defended yet)
- relevant publications
Informal enquiries on the nature of project and the application procedure are welcome.
