Context

In an ever-changing world, where discoveries and technological upheavals in both the applied and fundamental sciences are almost a daily occurrence, one chasing the other, the role of the philosopher of science is essential and necessary. The philosopher's work must shed light on and put into perspective the conclusions of scientific discoveries, what they reveal about our understanding of the World, what they tell us about the interaction between Science and Society, but also by examining the truth of scientific theories (this is the role of the epistemologist) and the impact of putting them into practice (this is the role of the researcher in ethics).

Supervision

The post-doctoral researcher will be co-supervised by Professor Ali Benmakhlouf, a specialist in the philosophy of ethics and the philosophy of logic, and Professor Abdelouahab Rgoud, a specialist in the philosophy and epistemology of mathematics and the physical sciences.

The ACPPS-UM6P Research Center has an opening for a one-year renewable Post-doctoral position (October 2025-October 2026) in the research field of contemporary philosophy of science. The research project proposed by the candidate could be in one of the following fields (without necessarily being limited to it):

-Philosophy/epistemology of contemporary physics

-Philosophy/epistemology of contemporary mathematics

-Philosophy/epistemology of contemporary logic.

-Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

-Ethics

Selection

Applicants send a full CV, a motivation letter (1 page), a sample of academic writing (term paper, or chapter of thesis max 30 pages), a research statement (1 to 2 pages), two letters of recommendation, and full transcripts for academic transcripts for their previous studies. The preselected candidates will be contacted and interviewed.

Salaries and working conditions. The Post-doc program is fully funded. Students can expect to receive roughly 20k dirhams per month (equivalent to 2k euros). The program involves helping the school as a teaching assistant which is a valuable source of experience for building an academic CV. Advanced students may also receive additional support for further teaching and/or consulting work, with opportunities provided through the ACPPS Center.

The work will be carried out within a dynamic group of over ten researchers working on the theme of Arabic classical philosophy and philosophy of sciences. The campus is new, near Marrakech in the city of Ben Guerir, and offers public facilities and accommodation for doctoral students.

Profiles
