A brief pointer to a call for applications, officially launched by my university yesterday, to fully funded doctoral studies positions at my department (of philosophy, linguistics and theory of science). Among the subjects to which one can apply is my own of practical philosophy – i.e. ethics, applied ethics, metaethics, political philosophy, philosophy of law, and so on. So if you meet the eligibility criterion (basically a BA plus a minimum of a 1-year MA in a relevant subject), and think that spending four-five years in Gothenburg doing a philosophy/ethics doctoral project within an employed positions (including full benefits) with myself or some of my colleagues is an attractive prospect, please don't hesitate to consider applying!
Your starting point is here.

Just out of curiosity (being a PhD student myself): how many applications do you usually get for PhD candidate positions at your department?
ReplyDeleteBefore when we didn't really advertise very actively, except a little bit within the academic philosophy community in Sweden, we used to have 5 to 15, as I recall over the years. Now we of course hope for much more!
ReplyDeleteThat is, these numbers are for practical philosophy alone. Counting the entire department, incl. all of the subject (also theoretical philosophy, logic, linguistics and theory of science), the number would be approximately 4-5 times that given above.
DeleteWhat about PhD in Linguistics (Eleme Language)?
ReplyDeleteyeah, what about it? if you click the link and reread the intro, you see that the call was for linguistics as well.
DeleteWhat about matters of age? What is the maximum age for this positions?
ReplyDeleteHi Simon,
Deleteno age restrictions whatsoever. However, note that the call was in February and that the deadline was passed several months ago.
