Three Fully Paid PhD Positions: Perception and Action

Applications are invited for three fully and (for US and UK standards) very generously paid PhD studentships in philosophy at the University of Antwerp. The PhD student will be part of Bence Nanay’s project ‘Between Perception and Action’ (funded by a FWO and a BOF UA grant) and will be supervised by Professor Nanay. The PhD in Belgium normally takes four years and PhD students are public employees with very generous benefits. Antwerp is commutable from a number of European cities, including Paris, London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Cologne. 

Candidates must have an MA degree in philosophy. Some background in psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience or primatology is a significant plus. Years spent in a PhD program elsewhere may count towards completion. Please send a cv and a max 5000 word writing sample to nanay@berkeley.edu and have two letters of reference sent to the same email address. Please write ‘PhD: P&A’ in the subject line of any email sent.

Deadline: November 30
Starting date of the position: Spring/Summer/Fall 2012 (negotiable)
