The centre invites applications for two-three postdoctoral positions.
The expected starting date is 1 February, 2027 or as agreed upon. The duration for the positions is 3 years.
We are looking for candidates who can contribute to answering our three research questions, and applicants are expected to explain in their application how their research can contribute to answering one or more of them.
At CEPDISC, we ask three main research questions:
1) What is discrimination and what forms of discrimination exist?
2) What are the main grounds for objecting to discrimination and how do these relate?
3) What are the psychological mechanisms behind discrimination and what can and should be done to counteract/mitigate discrimination?
We pursue these questions through 11 work packages. You can read more about the centre and the work packages here.
Call deadline 15 September 2026.
Applications are now invited for one or more PhD fellowships/scholarships at the BSS Graduate School, Aarhus University, Denmark, within the Centre for the Experimental-Philosophical Study of Discrimination (CEPDISC).
Application deadline: 7 September 2026, 23:59 CEST
Expected start date: 1 February 2027
At CEPDISC we conduct interdisciplinary research on discrimination, combining philosophical analysis with empirical and experimental methods. We are looking for candidates who can contribute to answering the centre’s core research questions (see below). Successful applicants will develop an independent PhD project that contributes to one or more of the centre’s core research questions concerning the nature, causes, and mitigation of discrimination. Accordingly, applicants are expected to explain in their application how their project can contribute to answering one or more of them.
