Call for application: Post-doc proposal : Program
"Cognitive Origins of Vagueness", Institut Jean-Nicod
Job
description : Institut Jean-Nicod (EHESS/ENS/CNRS, Paris) is seeking
to recruit a post-doctoral researcher for 12 months as part of the
ANR research project « Cognitive Origins of Vagueness »,
conducted by Paul Égré. The position is to start September
2009 or possibly later. The applicant’s PhD should have been defended
and filed by the starting date. The net salary will be of 2040 euros/month.
French social security and retirement benefits will apply.
The
post-doc's primary responsibility will be to conduct research on
vagueness, and the candidate should be motivated to pursue new directions
of investigation in this domain, whether theoretical or empirical.
Questions of interest for the project concern the incidence of vagueness
in language, in perception and in decision (representative issues
include, among other topics and non-limitatively, the link between
vagueness and language learning, the articulation between perceptual
categories and linguistic categories, the role of decision in the
assignment of boundaries for concepts, the importance of contextual
factors in vagueness resolution). The candidate should have a PhD
in one of these areas: philosophy, psychology, formal semantics,
cognitive science, preferably on issues connected to vagueness or
categorization. The selected candidate will participate in regular
seminars on the topic of vagueness and will also take part in the
organization of workshops and scientific events. The candidate will
have the possibility to do experimental work and will be given adequate
supervision to that effect if appropriate (in partnership with the
LSCP and Department of Cognitive Studies at Ecole Normale Supérieure).
Candidates
are invited to submit an application (in English) including a curriculum
vitae, a letter of motivation with a brief statement of interests,
a writing sample, and two letters of recommendation, by May 13,
2009. The application should be sent directly to Paul Egré

committee (see below).
