The IFK is a centre for advanced studies in Vienna. It has fellowships for
post-docs and for senior academics. The committee is chaired by a historian of
science and some of the other members have strong philosophical interests, too.
Knowledge of the German language is not a condition of appointment. Vienna has a
lively community in history, philosophy and sociology of science, including
history of philosophy of science. There are weekly talks and plenty of
workshops and conferences in all these areas.
The application forms are here:http://www.ifk.ac.at/index.php/actual-calls.html
The IFK has currently two main themes: "VERLORENE GEWISSHEITEN – LEBENSWELTEN
UND WISSEN IM ÃœBERGANG" (siehehttp://www.ifk.ac.at/index.php/62.html)
and "KULTUREN DER EVIDENZ. DIE WIRKLICHKEIT DER KULTURWISSENSCHAFTEN"
(siehehttp://www.ifk.ac.at/index.php/63.html)
Applications need not be linked to these themes.
The deadline is July 1st, 2011
