We are looking for candidates whose research falls broadly within at least one of the following areas:
Ethics, or Social and Political Philosophy.
The position is available for a period of 3 years.
This postdoc position is specifically associated with the research strand in GoodAttention that connects questions about attention with ethics and social and political philosophy. Any research project within these areas is considered relevant.
Some examples for possible areas of research (not exclusive):
- moral duties of attention and political attention rights;
- the social role of attention norms for social coordination and joint action;
- procedural duties of non-negligence as well as substantial moral duties to pay enough attention to morally relevant facts;
- whether there should be restrictions on the commodification of attention;
- whether the normative demands of democracy put restrictions on how much of our attention an individual or group can legitimately demand.
The candidate’s proposed postdoctoral research need not be directly about one of those topics. Candidates should, though, in their research description and application letter address how it may relate to the themes of GoodAttention generally
The candidate will be situated in a strong, lively and supportive research environment, both at the GOODATTENTION project itself, the related SalientSolutions project, as well as relevant research groups, such as the Oslo Mind Group, or the Centre for Philosophy and the Sciences.
The applicant is expected to develop a project description, which must be submitted as a part of the application.
The candidate will have the opportunity also to make use of the international advisory board associated with GOODATTENTION, for research interactions, research visits, or other forms of collaboration.
