I hope this is not an abuse of the list's purpose, but though I suspect
that there will not be many on this list who will be interested in this
postdoc, I think there will be some who have access to professional biology
lists where this add might valuably be re-posted. So I would invite any
reader to post it on to any list relevent list
Kim Sterelny
Victoria University of Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand. The Marsden
Fund has supported a two year postdoctoral fellowship to work on a joint
project with Kim Sterelny on "What is biodiversity?" This is a project in
philosophy of biology, not environmental ethics. So philosophers with a
strong background in philosophy of biology are invited to apply, though
candidates with a background in biology will also be considered, so long as
they can demonstrate appropriate philosophical competence. The salary will
be in the range of $42,238 - $53,055 p.a, New Zealand dollars. But it is
most likely that the offer will be towards the lower end of that range.
Some support for moving expenses to Wellington may be available. For
details of the project, those interested should contact Kim Sterelny by
e-mail at Formal applications should be sent to
Debbie Luyinda, Department of Philosophy, Victoria University of
Wellington, PO Box 600, Wellington, New Zealand. The application should
include both the applicant's CV and a writing sample, and applicants should
ask three referees to send references to the same address. The closing date
for applications is January 5, 1998, and the fellowship is to begin in
March, 1998.
