Working field: The successful candidate will represent the area of Philosophy of Cognition across teaching and research and will be participating in interdisciplinary exchanges with the other fields represented in the Department along with active involvement in the DFG Cluster of Excellence "Science of Intelligence". The following topics are representative of the outlook and research areas to be covered:

  • The role of embodiment in analysing the relation between body and self
  • Investigating the co-constitutive character of the individual and the environment and their interrelations from an enactivist perspective
  • Philosophy of cognitive science and psychology, with a special emphasis on psycho-pathological phenomena
Teaching responsibilities amount to 9 hours of lectures and seminars per week, with the primary focus on the degree programmes hosted in the Department: MA degree course on "Theory and History of Science and Technology", and the BA degree course "Culture and Technology (Focus Area: Philosophy)".
