Country: France
Application Deadline: 4 Dec 2024 - 23:59 (UTC)
Type of Contract: Temporary
Job Status: Full-time
Hours Per Week: 35
Offer Starting Date: 1 Jan 2025
Is the job funded through the EU Research Framework Programme? Not funded by a EU programme
Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? No
Offer Description The postdoctoral project will be conducted in the context of a larger ANR-FAPESP project entitled "Individuating Ecosystems: an interdisciplinary approach to their distinctive functional organization" (IndivEco), involving collaboration with several institutions in France and Brazil.
This interdisciplinary project aims to elaborate an original and operationalizable framework to individuate ecosystems and ascribe ecological functions to their components by combining conceptual, theoretical, and modelling approaches.
The project hypothesizes that ecosystems' individuality is approachable by focusing on their distinctive organizational regime, rather than their composition at any particular moment in time.
The working hypothesis is twofold: ecosystems are systems where both biotic items and abiotic factors exert constraints on the flow of matter and energy, and these functional constraints form a network of dependencies, providing a criterion to draw the boundaries of the ecosystem.
The project aims to sharpen the philosophical and theoretical framework that sustains the hypothesis, while also testing its capacity to guide the elaboration of specific mathematical and computational models of ecosystemic organization and eco-evolutionary dynamics.
More specifically, the philosophical objectives include:
(i) ecosystems' individuality and related notions (causal structure, functionality, evolution, normativity…);
(ii) biological individuality and its relation to ecosystem individuality across different levels of organization.
The postdoctoral researcher will work closely with all four PIs involved in the project, primarily based in Paris, with research stays in Salvador de Bahia.
The IHPST offers an excellent working environment with office facilities, online access to journals, funds for international conferences and workshops, and opportunities to organize local events. The researcher will also interact with a PhD student hired by the ANR-FAPESP project.
Candidates are expected to propose a specific research project that contributes to the philosophical objectives, particularly those that:
(i) rely on and develop the conceptual tools from the recent organizational/autonomist framework, and
(ii) situate and evaluate these tools within the contemporary philosophical debate on biological individuality.
Application Process Applications (in English or French) should include:
- a short cover letter (1 page);
- a CV with a list of publications;
- a description of planned research activity (1,000-1,500 words).
