We are looking for candidates who:

• Share the Interdisciplinary Centre for Ethics vision for an interdisciplinary approach that bridges the gap between philosophical bioethics and other disciplines (psychology, medicine, health sciences, legal studies, economics): both “armchair” methods typical for the humanities and social sciences (conceptual analysis, case studies), and empirical methods (behavioral experiments, corpus analysis).
• Have an ability to bring innovative research ideas and methods to the Centre, and to turn research ideas into impactful projects and publications.
• Fluency in one or more languages other than English is advantageous.

Project description

Extending the range of empirical methods used by experimental philosophical bioethics beyond the traditional survey and contrastive vignette study designs. Adapting empirical methods from social sciences and linguistics to issues in bioethics and philosophy of medicine.
