The , led by Prof. Roy Wagner, is a place for reflecting on all aspects of mathematical knowledge from the point of view of the humanities. Our team studies various historical and contemporary mathematical cultures from a multitude of methodological approaches.
We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to conduct independent research on the development, practice, or social and cultural roles of mathematics (including mathematical aspects of other sciences) from the points of view of history, philosophy or neighbouring humanities disciplines (such as STS, cultural studies, social anthropology).
You are required to have a doctoral degree in a field related to your research project before starting at ETH. You must be able to initiate an interesting research project and develop it independently. You must be willing to exchange with your fellow team members, support them, and learn from them. Non-standard research topics, questions and methods are encouraged. Among other things, we encourage projects on non-European mathematics, mathematics in practical and commercial contexts, cross-cultural mathematical exchange, and philosophical projects that consider mathematics as a practice, rather than as an abstract ideal. The chair is not a good environment for strict analytic philosophy projects, but is open to projects that integrate analytic philosophy methodologies.
We look forward to your online applications by March 31, including:
The applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis, so early applications are encouraged. A shortlist will be prepared on an ongoing basis, and closed in April. All candidates will be informed whether they were shortlisted. Shortlisted candidates may be asked for additional documents (such as references, writing samples, etc.). The shortlisted candidates will be interviewed online during March, April and May. A decision will be made by the end of May.
Please note that we exclusively accept applications submitted through our online application portal. Applications via email or postal services will not be considered. Questions regarding the position should be directed to Prof. Roy Wagner at roy.wagner@gess.ethz.ch.
