Two postdoctoral positions in Theoretical Philosophy, Utrecht (The Netherlands)

The Department of Philosophy, Utrecht University, has vacancies for two Post-Doc Researchers in Theoretical Philosophy. The positions are part of the research project 'Indeterminism Ltd.: An intervention on the free will debate', which is a five year project on the notions of indeterminism, intervention, and free will, funded by a Starting Grant of the European Research Council. One job is for working on a sub-project on limited indeterminism, substances and capacities. The other job is for working on a new libertarian, interventionist account of free will based on limited indeterminism.

We are looking for two talented and dedicated young researchers with a strong PhD in a relevant area of philosophy and with proven research capabilities, who are willing to work in an active team. The research carried out in the project includes logic and philosophy of science, and the applicants should preferably have some background in these fields. Fluency in English is required.

Submission deadline: 25 October 2010 For further details and information on how to apply, see here: http://www.uu.nl/faculty/humanities/NL/Onderzoek/onderzoekinstituten/zeno/
