The Dutch government has decided to invest for the long term in academic research by means of three so-called 'sector plans'. These investments enable the Faculty of Philosophy, Theology and Religious Studies at Radboud University to attract researchers, create a future-proof range of educational opportunities, and to strengthen the strategic cooperation between institutions, specifically in the Social and Behavioural Sciences and Humanities (SSH, website in Dutch).
The Faculty of Philosophy, Theology and Religious Studies has an opening for three postdoctoral researchers to work on projects in one of the following themes:
(i) Humane AI.
(ii) Cultural and religious heritage.
(iii)Migrant inclusion and wellbeing.

The faculty therefore invites researchers to submit proposals for research in one of these thematic areas, as closely related as possible to the research of one or two of the six research centres of the Faculty. These six centres are: the Radboud Center for Philosophy and Society (RCPS), the Center for the History of Philosophy and Science (CHPS), the Center for Cognition, Culture and Language (CCL), the Center for Contemporary European Philosophy (CCEP), the Center for Textual, Historical, and Systematic Studies of Judaism and Christianity (CTHS), and the Center for Religion and Contemporary Society (CRCS).

You will be expected to regularly participate in the meetings of the research centre(s), and to contribute to research within the relevant subtheme at the local and national level in the interfaculty and interuniversity collaboration groups that will be created along the lines of the ‘sector plans’. The postdoc that will work on Migrant Inclusion and Wellbeing will maintain a close link with the Radboud University Network on Migrant Inclusion (RUNOMI).

In the coming years, you will publish in a variety of outlets, relevant to your specific field, contribute to the organisation of conferences, and contribute to collaborative volumes or journal issues. You will be expected to teach one or two courses in our Bachelor’s or Master’s degree programme (max. 20% of the appointment).

Work and science require good employment practices. This is reflected in Radboud University's primary and secondary employment conditions. You can make arrangements for the best possible work-life balance with flexible working hours, various leave arrangements and working from home. You are also able to compose part of your employment conditions yourself, for example, exchange income for extra leave days and receive a reimbursement for your sports subscription.

Therefore, we provide various training and development schemes.

The Faculty of Philosophy, Theology and Religious Studies houses over 160 staff and over 1,000 students from the Netherlands and abroad. Our educational programme includes several top-notch degree programmes and has both in-depth disciplinary fields of study and interdisciplinary and interfaculty study programmes. The faculty provides innovative teaching and research programmes with a strong focus on current social issues.
Our faculty is committed to equal opportunities for all. We stand for an inclusive community and believe that diversity contributes to the equality of teaching and research. We therefore particularly welcome employees from different backgrounds, whose perspectives and alternative ways of thinking may contribute to the diversity of our faculty.
