The Fellow will be affiliated with the Department of Logic & Philosophy
of Science at the University of California, Irvine, one of the world’s
strongest departments in philosophy of science. The Fellow will be
supervised by James Weatherall. Irvine faculty members include leading
scholars on a variety of topics in philosophy of physics, including
foundations of quantum mechanics, foundations of space-time theories,
and on general issues regarding methodology and evidential reasoning.
The Postdoctoral Fellowship has a duration of up to two years. The
initial appointment is for one year, with renewals annually conditional
on satisfactory performance. The Fellow will have access to shared

by conducting research leading to peer-reviewed publications and
conference presentations, and by participating in conferences, research
groups, reading groups, and outreach activities. There are no teaching
obligations associated with this position, but Fellows are expected to
contribute to graduate student mentorship.
The start date for the Fellowship is negotiable, with a preference for 1
January 2019. Candidates must have had a PhD in philosophy of physics or
a related field conferred within five years of the start of the
Fellowship. All PhD requirements must be completed by the starting date
of this Postdoctoral Fellowship. The salary is competitive, and depends
on background and experience of the applicant.
