[spsp-members] PhD researcher (4 years, fully funded) in the Philosophy of Science in Practice at University of Twente

[Boon, Mieke (UT-BMS)]

Dear colleagues,

We are looking for a PhD candidate interested in an interdisciplinary research project at the intersection of philosophy of science and chemical engineering. The PhD position is full-time, for four years, and starts on April 1st 2024 (or as soon as possible thereafter). Submission deadline January 15th. The PhD research project is part of the EU Horizon-EIC-2023-Pathfinder-Open project "Processing complex matrices: Description, Reaction-Separation, Modelling" (acronym DREAM). It will be embedded in the Philosophy of Technology section (chair: Philosophy of Science in Practice) at the University Twente (UT, The Netherlands).

The overarching objective of the EU-DREAM-project is to develop a new vision on experimental and modelling strategies in efficient and lean development of bio-refineries in the sustainable transition towards circular economy. Such pioneering research that effectively advances breakthrough technologies faces several challenges to which the philosophy of science in practice can contribute: The production of knowledge useful for technological applications requires interdisciplinary research collaborations, which are challenged by (i) fundamental cognitive, epistemological, and methodological barriers, (ii) finding a balance between scientific depth and practical industrial applicability, (iii) research methodologies that enable to make choices based on the overarching goal instead of the logic and methodology of the individual disciplines. These challenges will be addressed by integrating philosophical and sociological research specialized in interdisciplinary research with chemistry (catalysis) and chemical engineering research.

We would very much appreciate it if you would bring this to the attention of philosophy students with an (engineering) scientific background.

Kind regards,
Mieke Boon and Miles MacLeod
