The chosen candidate is expected to work on one of the following areas:
- Philosophy of spacetime and gravitational theories.
- Philosophy of quantum mechanics in the light of symplectic geometry, geometric quantization and the theory of constrained Hamiltonian systems.
- Philosophy of quantum gravity.
Eligibility requirements
Eligible candidates must hold a university degree equivalent to a Master's degree in philosophy, physics or mathematics by July 31st, 2013.
Conditions of employment
