Postdoctoral Fellowship in Foundations of Physics



The Rotman Institute of Philosophy invites applications for a
Postdoctoral Fellowship in Foundations of Physics. The Fellowship will
provide a new scholar in foundations of physics with a unique
opportunity to pursue his or her chosen areas of scholarly research in
collaboration with physicists and philosophers. For suitable candidates,
it may be possible to hold a Postdoctoral Fellowship jointly between the
Rotman Institute and the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics.

 

The Rotman Institute of Philosophy is situated in one of Canada’s
leading departments of philosophy. It brings together philosophers and
scientists to work on problems of global significance. Rotman faculty
include two Canada Research Chair holders, and within the philosophy of
physics, faculty pursue special interests in the foundations of quantum
mechanics, history and philosophy of space-time theories, and the
philosophy of cosmology, as well as in connections between physical
theory and general questions in methodology, epistemology, and
metaphysics.

 

The Postdoctoral Fellowship in Foundations of Physics has a one-year
term with the possibility of renewal for a second year. The Fellow will
be supervised by faculty from the Rotman Institute of Philosophy. She or
he will have an office within the Rotman Institute. Fellows are required
to involve themselves fully in the research life of the Institute by
conducting research leading to peer-reviewed publications and conference
presentations, and by participating in conferences, research groups,
reading groups, and outreach activities. 

 

Candidates must have had a PhD in philosophy or physics or 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 stipend is $40,500 CDN. Additionally, the Fellow will be
provided a research allowance of $5,000 CDN.
