Candidates with a background and interest in gender studies, feminist epistemology, philosophy of social science, sociology of knowledge, organisational and institutional studies, science studies, or disciplinary history of social sciences, are especially encouraged to apply. Candidates with other interests and backgrounds will also be considered.
