2 PhD Scholarships Available

Two full funded PhD positions are available within my ERC Consolidator Grant Project NEWWORLD – Renewing the World: A Philosophical History of Early Modern Ecology. Candidates are required to submit an outline sketch of a research proposal (in English), focusing on conceptions of ecology in early modern philosophies, with particular attention to utopian literature or the notion of “pollution”, also in the medical-physiological contexts.

The selected candidates will join the team of NEWWORLD, which is based in Pavia, where office space and access to research facilities will be provided. Both PhD scholarships include generous travel grants for research stays at European libraries. Furthermore, the PhD students will be actively involved in conference organisation, and in the curating of a philosophical exhibition featuring 3D visualisations.
