[PhilPhys] Position, Philosophy of Physics, Universität Erfurt

[Prof. Dr. Carsten Held]

List Members,

my department (philosophy) has an open position for a philosopher of 
science, preferably physics, preferably foundations of QM/QFT. The 
Universität Erfurt is the youngest state university in Germany (and one 
of the smallest: 4000 students). Living expenses in Erfurt are lower 
than on average in Germany, yet the city (pop. 200 000) and has enough 
cultural facilities to be called interesting, plus it's located in the 
very center of Germany.

The position is renewable for up to another 3 years. The position holder 
will be expected to teach two (two hour) courses per term (one ad lib). 
Teaching can be in English, but a working knowledge of German is an 
asset. Switching into the German system (i.e. writing and defending a 
Habilitation) is possible, but not required. Residency in Erfurt 
througout the year (not only during term time) is required.

If you have a record of work or just a promising project in foundations 
of QM/QFT, please consider applying. Details of the position follow below.
