About this position

Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München invites applications for a PhD Student position in the Chair of Metaphysics within the Faculty of Philosophy, Philosophy of Science and the Study of Religion. The position is based in Munich and is supervised by Professor Alyssa Ney.

The doctoral researcher will develop a dissertation on metaphysical questions related to quantum physics. The project is situated at the intersection of metaphysics, philosophy of physics, philosophy of science and analytical philosophy, with opportunities to engage critically with foundational issues arising from quantum theory.

The successful candidate will participate in the weekly activities of an ERC-supported project on the metaphysics of quantum physics. The Chair of Metaphysics provides an active research environment with regular workshops, a colloquium series and other academic events throughout the year. Its research approach is scientifically based, historically informed and socially engaged.

Research activities are conducted in English within LMU Munich’s Faculty of Philosophy, offering a setting for interdisciplinary work connecting philosophical analysis with physics and the foundations of science.
