The Postdoctoral Research Fellowship is funded by the European Research Council (ERC) and is associated with the project GOODATTENTION .

This position is specifically associated with subproject 2: Subproject 2 looks at the social dimension of attention, and the social norms that may govern it. It studies the function of attention sharing and coordination in social interaction and the emergence of social norms. It investigates the emergence of social norms of attention, if any, that guide social interactions. (see here  for some more details about this subproject and its relation to GOODATTENTION as a whole).

The candidate is expected to present a research project closely connected to this subproject, and work in the areas of philosophy of cognitive science, philosophy of science or philosophy of economics in order to investigate the emergence of social norms with an application to attention. The candidate is expected to have some expertise in decision theory and game theory. Given the formal and mathematical character of some of the relevant literature, a strong background in computational and formal methods will be considered an advantage.
