Postdoctoral position in social epistemology of argumentation, Amsterdam (The Netherlands)

The ERC-funded project '€˜The Social Epistemology of Argumentation'€™ (SEA) has now been running for almost four years under the leadership of Prof. Catarina Dutilh Novaes. The team has been investigating the conditions under which argumentative processes lead to fruitful epistemic outcomes in terms of the circulation and co-production of knowledge, evidence, objections etc. While we adopt a social epistemological perspective, we are equally interested in the role of power dynamics and patterns of inclusion and exclusion in these processes.

For the final years of the project, we are now looking for a post-doc whose research focuses on political argumentation, for a two-year position. This research position will be combined with teaching (65% research, 35% teaching). The position is available from September 1, 2022, or as soon as possible thereafter.
