The Valence Asymmetries project, led by Isidora Stojanovic at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, is looking for expressions of interest from people who would like to join. The call reads:
We are interested in including new team members in our project. Before opening a new position, we are inviting those interested in joining us to express their interest.
The new team member(s) should have research interests that align directly with the objectives of the project, broadly understood. They will already have a very solid publication track, will cherish interdisciplinary research, and will want to combine theoretical and empirical methodology.
We are particularly interested in the following research profiles:
- Decision theory, philosophy of rationality & framing effects
- Formal value theory & formal semantics
- Philosophy of emotions & social and/or moral psychology
- Moral cognition & philosophy of well-being
Additionally, any other research profile that offers a novel perspective on the project’s objectives is potentially welcome.
The duration of the contract will depend on the range of project tasks that the new team member will be hired to work on, and in any case cannot exceed the duration of the project (i.e. July 2029).
In addition to prospective candidates who would like to join us for a longer duration, we are also inviting tenured faculty who have a demonstrably heavy teaching load to consider joining us for a one year period (assuming that they can get a leave of absence from their home institution) that they can devote to research.
The expected gross salary is approx. 31.000 gross per year (negotiable for senior and/or already tenured faculty).
NB: The project’s team members must live in Barcelona (region), they regularly meet in person, attend seminars and conduct in-person research. The position is incompatible with living and/or spending considerable periods of time elsewhere.
If you are interested in joining the project, please send an email to Isidora Stojanovic (PI), explaining your motivation and interests, together with a complete CV.
