3 KLI Postdoctoral Fellowships on "Evolutionary Theory in
Interdisciplinary Context"
Evolutionary arguments and theories are often mobilized in other
disciplines as well as in different societal contexts and discourses.
These translations are challenging and require interdisciplinary and
theoretical engagement at the intersection of evolutionary biology and
other scientific or scholarly fields. In order to foster this
engagement, the KLI is seeking 3 postdoc fellows conducting
interdisciplinary evolutionary research with a focus on theoretical
approaches, including conceptual, mathematical, and historical
analyses.
We encourage applications from research fields such as evolutionary
medicine, including evolutionary epidemiology in public health;
evolutionary ecology and conservation biology; evolutionary
neuroscience and psychology; and biocultural evolution. Projects may
also comprise empirical work carried out with partner institutions.
Furthermore, we invite projects from ethics, philosophy, history and
social studies of science that engage with the epistemological and
ethical issues that emerge when using evolutionary arguments and
theories in contexts and discourses outside of evolutionary biology.
Who is encouraged to apply?
Postdoc fellowships are individual fellowships for researchers in
residence and are awarded to work independently on the applicant's
research project. The fellowships are especially well-suited for
post-docs whose research deals with the historical, philosophical, and
conceptual foundations in the disciplines mentioned above but also for
empirical researchers who wish to elaborate on the conceptual,
epistemological, and methodological underpinnings and implications of
their work. The applicants should be interested in and eager to extend
their research perspective by drawing on novel concepts of evolutionary
theorizing, philosophy of science, and cognition research based on
long-standing work done at the KLI.
