Presentation

Five Full-time PhD positions (4 years) in Philosophy are available at Scuola Normale Superiore (SNS) in Pisa (IT). The positions are fully-funded and exclusively focused on research (no mandatory teaching).

The main areas of research at the Scuola Normale Superiore are History of Philosophy, Logic, Philosophy of science, Political Philosophy and Aesthetics. Please apply with a project proposal that fit into these research areas, but other projects are equally welcome.

The Scuola Normale particularly welcomes applications for admission from young applicants who are highly motivated towards research.The application can be submitted by students with any citizenship who:

All those planning to obtain the qualification required for admission by 31th October 2023 can also apply: if their application is successful, failure to obtain their qualification by that date will invalidate their admission. The eligibility of the non- Italian qualification is ascertained by the call commission, for the sole purpose of selection, in compliance with the regulations in force in Italy and in the country where the qualification was issued and with the international treaties or agreements regarding the recognition of qualifications for the continuation of studies.

c) have not been subject to "expulsion", a disciplinary sanction provided for in the educational regulations of the SNS;

Applications registered by the system after the aforementioned deadlines will not be taken into consideration, regardless of the cause of the delay. We recommend that you check that you have received the notification via e-mail regarding the completion of your application; the SNS is not responsible for any online application not properly completed by applicants.

Assessment of qualifications and exams

Selections will take place in one session.

For assessment, aimed at ascertaining the applicants’ aptitude for scientific research and their basic preparation for the course programme, each admissions commission has one hundred points at its disposal: sixty points for the assessment of qualifications and forty points for the oral exam. Applicants who have obtained at least forty points in the assessment of qualifications will be admitted to the oral exam. In order to pass the oral exam applicants must obtain at least thirty points. Applicants must pass the oral exam in order to enrol in the postgraduate course.

The exams will take place at the sites of the SNS from 21th April 2023;

The outcome of the assessment of qualifications and admission to the oral test will be announced by 14th April 2023.

The commissions must complete their task by 12th May 2023.

Applicants may attend the oral exam in person or, upon request of the applicant, online, with procedures guaranteeing the identification of the applicant and the public nature of the exam.

The results will be published on the SNS web site and on the SNS official online register; this will obviate the need to publish the data.

Selection of candidates will be done in Italian or English (candidate’s option).

The PhD position starts on 1 November 2023.
