Short-term (up to one year, 0.65 FTE, 13 TV-L) research position, Theoretical Political Science and Philosophy, Bamberg and Bayreuth (Germany).
The positions will be affiliated with the Chair of Theoretical Political Science (Prof. Dr. Johannes Marx) at the Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg or the Chair of Philosophy I (Prof. Dr. Olivier Roy) at the University of Bayreuth, as part of the research project „Simulating Collective Agency“ (SColA), funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.
Description:
The SColA project studies mechanisms underlying the emergence and stability of collective agency. It first investigates the role of shared beliefs and intentions for the emergence and stability of collective agents and, second, it studies how these shared attitudes contribute to the stability, growth or decline of autonomy in such groups. The project will do so through a computational and game-theoretical study of so-called ‘team reasoning’ (Bacharach, 2006), an extension of classical non-cooperative game theory in which the players can reason either individually or as a team member.
Candidate profile:
Initiative and aptitude for teamwork.
Background in Philosophy or Political Science, with interest in theoretical questions and computational approaches.
Familiarly with Decision and Game Theory, and practical philosophy in the analytic tradition.
Basic experience with programming.
Application:
Applicants should send a cover letter, CV including publication list, and two recommendation letters as one pdf document to sekretariat.poltheorie@uni-bamberg.de. For questions about the position please write directly to Johannes Marx (johannes.marx@uni-bamberg.de) and Olivier Roy (olivier.roy@uni-bayreuth.de).
Application Deadline: November 15th, 2024
