Department of Philosophy
Early Career Research Opportunities
The Philosophy Department at Macquarie provides an excellent environmnent in which to undertake postdoctoral research. Four full-time post-doctoral researchers - Catherine Abell, Paul Formosa, Heikki Ikaheimo and Mark Jago - are currently employed in the Department, working in a range of philosophical areas including aesthetics, political philosophy, theories of personhood and recognition, history of philosophy, and metaphysics.
Opportunities for funding of postdoctoral research are available from two main sources: the Macquarie University Research Fellowship Scheme (MQRF) and the Australian Research Council Postdoctoral Fellowship scheme. The Department has an outstanding record of success in attracting funding from both these sources - you can find a list of past holders of postdocs here. We welcome new applications.
Expressions of interest for the coming round of the Macquarie University Research Fellowship Scheme (MQRF)) should be made to an appropriate member of the philosophy department (someone suited to sponsor your project) by April 20th 2009. Note that this is in advance of the April 29th closing date indicated on the scheme website.
