The UCL Department of Philosophy wishes to appoint a full-time postdoctoral research fellow to work with Dr Jonathan Gingerich on a research project entitled ‘The Spontaneity of Freedom’ (SPONT). The five-year-long project, selected by the ERC and funded by UKRI, investigates the nature of spontaneous freedom–the freedom of acting in unplanned and unscripted ways–and its implications for ethics, politics, law, and aesthetics.
Selected Berggruen Fellows will work on topics related to one of the Center’s three core themes: (1) Frontier Science, Technology, and Philosophy, (2) Creative Futures, and (3) Ancient Wisdom and Planetary Governance. The core themes serve as a broad guidance for applicants, who will need to propose their own specific research projects under those themes.
