The University of Gothenburg hosts a research group in practical philosophy dedicated to financial ethics – that is, ethical and political issues raised by the financial system. The group is funded by the University of Gothenburg, the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, the Marcus and Amalia Wallenberg Foundation, and the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Environmental Research (Mistra). For more information, see https://flov.gu.se/english/research/research-programs/financial-ethics

We are now looking to hire a 2-year post doc to further strengthen the group and its research. The position provides the postdoctoral fellow with an opportunity to solidify and develop his or her scientific skills through conducting research in financial ethics. The fellow is expected to spend most of his or her employment on research, but additional assignments such as teaching can also be offered. The research will be conducted in close collaboration with the rest of the research group, and the fellow is expected to actively participate in group-related seminars, events and other activities.

Eligible for a postdoctoral position are those with a PhD or other foreign degree that is deemed equivalent to PhD. The subject of the doctoral thesis should be in a research area relevant to financial ethics. Since the postdoctoral position is intended to give junior researchers the opportunity to establish themselves in the field, we aim to employ applicants that graduated with PhDs within 3 years of the application deadline.

Closing date for applications is April 23, 2019. To apply, please visit the university’s job application portal: https://www.gu.se/english/about_the_university/job-opportunities/vacancies-details/?id=3918
