As part of the project “Complexity in Science, Culture and Society” the Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften / Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities of Goethe-University Frankfurt offers fellowships of three to six months in the period from autumn 2018 to the end of 2019, mainly in the field of theory of science/ philosophy of science/ history of science. The call for applications is open for academics from the postdoctoral phase onwards. Working languages will be German and English.
The project “Complexity in Science, Culture and Society” was established in 2017 and is funded by the Aventis Foundation for three years. The overarching goal of the project is to examine various concepts of complexity and their theoretical foundations from interdisciplinary perspectives in order to identify new models for dealing with complexity and to obtain new insights for academic research. One starting point is the perspective of the philosophy of science, which defines complexity as a characteristic of systems that demonstrate unexpected and unpredictable behavior because of the way in which their elements interact. The implications of this definition for both scientific and social systems have to be examined and illustrate the necessity of interdisciplinary cooperation.
