 Bruxelles, 10. Mai

Centre Perelman de Philosophie du Droit de l’Université Libre de Bruxelles,
Le Service de Philosophie Morale et Politique de l’Université de Liège,
recrutent :
2 chercheurs boursiers (h/f) à temps plein (+/- 1700 Euros net/mois),
à partir du 15 septembre 2013 et pour une période de 2 ans renouvelable une fois dans le cadre d’un projet de recherche consacré à la concurrence des normativités.
Projet de recherche
Le projet, financé par le Fonds de la recherche fondamentale collective (FRFC) du FRS-FNRS belge, porte sur la manière dont les « nouvelles normativités » remplacent, concurrencent ou complètent les dispositifs juridiques classiques. Normes ISO, normes comptables internationales, normes managériales dans le domaine de la justice, indicateurs, classements et notations ou encore normes techniques européennes paraissent constituer un nouveau mode de régulation, caractéristique des « sociétés de contrôle » et potentiellement différent du modèle politico-juridique de la souveraineté. Le projet vise à dégager un modèle théorique et critique de la normalisation qui rende compte, d’une part, de la cohérence et de l’articulation de ces dispositifs normatifs et, d’autre part, de leur interaction avec les règles juridiques. La démarche relève de la théorie et de la philosophie du droit, avec un ancrage dans la pratique et une ouverture à d’autres disciplines (en particulier à la sociologie et à l’économie).
Profil
Le candidat sera titulaire depuis maximum 7 ans d’un diplôme de Master en droit ou en philosophie. Une formation interdisciplinaire (notamment un cursus complémentaire en sociologie ou en économie, et en particulier une double formation en droit et en philosophie) constituera un atout. La connaissance active du français et de l’anglais est indispensable.
Le candidat s’engage à réaliser une thèse de doctorat en co-tutuelle entre l’Université Libre de Bruxelles (sous la promotion de B. Frydman ou d’un autre professeur du Centre Perelman) et soit l’Université Saint Louis – Bruxelles (sous la promotion de F. Ost), soit l’Université de Liège (sous la promotion de E. Delruelle). La thèse de doctorat portera sur un aspect de la concurrence

Prerequisite for a successful application is an above-average university degree in philosophy, ethics or related disciplines. We are looking for applicants with strong interest and some previous experience in theories of sustainable development and sustainability studies. Our candidate should be able to work independently and at the same time contribute explicitly to the research group’s profile. We expect the candidate to be willing to work and collaborate in an interdisciplinary context and to advance the own discipline as well as to develop ideas for transdisciplinary research.

The position is open as early as possible and limited to 2 years with an optional one-year extension.

Helsinki, 30. Mai

Professor
theoretical philosophy
Position announced on: Apr 18, 2013
Apply at latest on: May 30, 2013
Fixed-term: Permanent

Employer:
Faculty of Arts
Department of Philosophy, History, Culture and Art Studies

The University of Helsinki is among the leading multidisciplinary research
universities in the world. In addition to its 11 faculties, the University
includes several independent institutes, some of which are jointly
operated with other universities. Some 36,500 students are currently
pursuing an undergraduate or postgraduate degree at the University of
Helsinki.

The Faculty of Arts is Finland?s oldest institution for teaching and
research in the humanities and the largest in terms of the structure and
range of disciplines. It is also a significant international community
fostering research, education and cultural interaction.

The Department of Philosophy, History, Culture and Art Studies
(http://www.helsinki.fi/phca/) belongs to the Faculty of Arts and has a
strong profile in the multidisciplinary research and teaching of the
humanities.

The Department of Philosophy, History, Culture and Art Studies at the
University of Helsinki invites applications for a

PROFESSOR

The field of the position is theoretical philosophy.

According to Section 33 of the Universities Act (No 558/2009), a professor
shall carry out and supervise scientific work, provide teaching based on
it, follow developments in research and participate in societal
interaction and international cooperation in his or her field.

The professorship covers history of philosophy, epistemology, logic, and
systematic philosophy. The new professor will be an internationally
recognized, dynamic, first class researcher and teacher. While there is no
special emphasis on any particular area among these disciplines, it is an
important requirement that the new professor shall further the research
lines in which the unit of theoretical philosophy has been traditionally
strong and initiate new development

The unit of theoretical philosophy of the University of Helsinki has a
long standing international tradition in philosophical logic and
systematic philosophy (metaphysics, philosophy of science, philosophy of
language). The unit cooperates closely with the philosophy unit (teaching
in Swedish) which belongs to the same department, and the research groups
in methodology and philosophy of social sciences in the Faculty of Social
Sciences.

According to the Regulations of the University of Helsinki, an appointee
to a professorship shall hold a doctoral degree and have top level
scholarly qualifications, experience in the supervision of scientific
research, the ability to provide top level teaching based on research and
to supervise theses and dissertations as well as documentation of
international cooperation in the research field that the appointee
represents. Furthermore, the position also calls for academic leadership
skills.

Holders of teaching and research positions at Finnish universities must be
proficient in the language in which they provide instruction, i.e.,
Finnish or Swedish. Proficiency in the language of instruction can be
demonstrated as laid down in the Regulations of the University of
Helsinki. Moreover, in bilingual universities offering degrees both in
Finnish and Swedish, holders of teaching and research positions must also
have at least satisfactory spoken and written skills in Finnish and
Swedish. According to the Regulations of the University of Helsinki,
foreign citizens, non-native Finnish citizens and Finnish citizens who
have not been educated in Finnish or Swedish may be exempted from this
requirement without a separate application. If the successful applicant is
not proficient in Finnish or Swedish, he or she is expected to acquire
moderate proficiency, as becoming proficient in Finnish or Swedish is
important for the professor?s full integration into the workplace and
Finnish society. To successfully attend to the duties of the position, the
appointee must also have good English skills.

When assessing the qualifications of each candidate, attention will be
paid to scientific publications and other research results of scientific
value, teaching experience and pedagogical training, the ability to
produce teaching material, other teaching merits and, if necessary, a
demonstration of teaching skills as well as participation in doctoral
education. Account shall also be taken of the applicant's activity in the
scientific community, success in obtaining external research funding,
international research experience and international elected positions as
well as leadership and interaction skills.

The salary will be based on levels 8?10 of the demands level chart for
teaching and research personnel in the salary system of Finnish
universities. In addition, the appointee will be paid a salary component
based on personal work performance.

Applicants are requested to enclose with their applications four copies of
the following documents:

1)  A curriculum vitae
(seehttp://www.helsinki.fi/hum/english/administration/resources/cv.htm)

2)  A report (max. 5 pages) on pedagogical expertise (teaching philosophy,
previous teaching experience, pedagogical skills, the ability to use and
develop teaching materials, other teaching merits) or alternatively, an
academic portfolio containing equivalent information
(seehttp://www.helsinki.fi/hum/english/administration/resources/skills/index.htm).

3)  A report (max. 3 pages) on the applicant?s research activities
(including activities in scientific communities, the acquisition of
research funding and international scholarly work) and on how the
applicant intends to develop research and teaching in his or her field, if
appointed

4)  A numbered list of those publications with which the applicant wishes
to demonstrate his or her competence and merits; the list should follow
the Faculty instructions for classifying publications
(seehttp://www.helsinki.fi/hum/english/administration/resources/publications.htm).

5)  Up to ten publications numbered as on the list of publications. The
publications should be delivered to the following address: Faculty Office
of the Faculty of Arts, P.O. Box 3, 00014 University of Helsinki, Finland.
The visiting address is Fabianinkatu 33, 2nd floor.

6)  Certificates of language proficiency

Applications addressed to the Faculty of Arts, together with the required
enclosures (excluding the publications), must be delivered to the
following postal address: Registry of the University of Helsinki, P.O. Box
33 (Yliopistonkatu 4), 00014 University of Helsinki, Finland, or by email:

scientific proficiency at a high international level and documented
teaching proficiency.

General qualifications include the ability to collaborate and the
professional skills to perform all the duties of the position.

Swedish language skills are not a requirement at the time of entering the
position. The applicant should, however, be prepared to carry out teaching
and administration tasks that require knowledge of the Swedish language
within a couple of years.

Assessment criteria: Scientific proficiency and the ability to conduct
independent and internationally competitive research within the subject
area of the position will weigh most heavily. Teaching proficiency will
receive second most weight. Documented administrative proficiency,
experience in acquiring external funding for research, and the ability to
communicate and promote increased scientific awareness to society at large
will also be considered.

corresponding knowledge obtained in another manner, is to be given credit.
Candidates lacking formal advanced education in teaching theory,
corresponding to a minimum of 7.5 higher education credits, and who are
judged not in possession of corresponding teaching skills, must pursue
such studies during the first two years of employment.

Additional information: Since most professors at the Faculty of Humanities
