The postdoc will be based in the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence at the University of Cambridge (CFI) and will be regularly collaborating with other members of the research project based in LMU Munich at the Munich Centre for Mathematical Philosophy. There are no teaching duties, though teaching opportunities may arise. The project grant has funds dedicated to conference travel for the post holder, for regular visits to Munich, and for workshops.

Applicants should have completed (or near completed) a PhD in Philosophy and have expertise in philosophy of science or philosophy of medicine. We welcome applicants using a diverse range of approaches in their research, including formal methods, computer simulations, and case studies. We particularly welcome applicants from candidates with research interests in causal inference in medicine, construed broadly to include, as examples, causal inference based on clinical experience, the use of quantitative effect sizes, the role of diverse evidence for causal inference, how expert judgements get aggregated, and how artificial intelligence might contribute to causal inference in medicine.
