ARC GRANT-FUNDED PHD/MASTERS SCHOLARSHIP IN PHILOSOPHY is open for Domestic Students . The scholarship allows Masters, PhD, Research level programm(s) in the field of Philosophy taught at University of Adelaide . The deadline of the scholarship is Open Until Filled.
Applications are invited for a scholarship leading to the degree of Ph.D. or Master of Philosophy (as appropriate) in the School of Humanities, Department of Philosophy, University of Adelaide.
The scholarship is part of an Australian Research Council Discovery Project, DP200100190, Everything In Its Place: Location, Persistence, and Change, Chief Investigator: Dr. Antony Eagle. The scholarship recipient will also have the project’s Partner Investigators involved in their supervision: Professor Cody Gilmore (Philosophy, UC Davis) and A/Prof Shiva Kleinschmidt (Philosophy, University of Southern California).
The project, of which the HDR candidate’s research will form part, aims to critically examine a number of accounts of how (and if) we may reconcile what we know about ordinary objects with the unexpected things science has taught us about space, time, and the fundamental building blocks of nature. We anticipate generating new knowledge in metaphysics, exploiting the recent 'locative turn' to revitalize perennial questions about existence, persistence, and change. More details about the project can be found at https://antonyeagle.org/place/ .
The HDR candidate’s project is expected to be in the fields of metaphysics or philosophy of physics; students with an appropriate background in philosophy or physics are encouraged to apply. There is no specified project topic; students will be supported in developing their own topic within the remit of the project.
As part of the application process, candidates are required to provide a research proposal, detailing in a preliminary way a research question and approach that falls within the scope of the project. Candidates should contact Antony Eagle in advance via email (details below) to confirm the suitability of their proposal for the project. We especially welcome proposals on topics relating to the philosophy of space and time, the metaphysics of location, and the nature of change and identity over time.
Commencement: Ideally, the candidate will commence their studies in March 2021 but a later start (before May) may be able to be negotiated (particularly for interstate candidates).
