Post-doctoral Fellowship. Applications are invited from biologists (with a
strong interest in philosophy) or philosophers (with training in biology) for a
two-year post-doctoral position leading a study of possible universal principles
of coloniality/sociality. The empirical component of the study is a search for
the morphological, physiological, and behavioral correlates of the emergence of
colonial associations generally (from bryozoans to bees to buffalo). The
philosophical component is an analytical study of the possible correlates,
leading to methods for operationalizing them. For a more detailed description of
the project, see: http://www.biology.duke.edu/mcshealab . Funding for the
position is expected but pending. Opportunity to join Duke Biology Dept, which
has exceptional strength in evolutionary studies. Applicants should submit a CV,
short statement of research interests, one or two sample papers, and names and
e-mail addresses of three references. Electronic submission is encouraged.
Consideration of candidates will begin on 15 February. Start date is 1 July.
