Description
We are recruiting a postdoctoral fellow to conduct research on the theory of the firm. This postdoc will join a larger interdisciplinary project that focuses on collective agents—specifically, economic firms and biological organisms—and how they maintain coherence despite the threat from internal conflicts. This project is funded by the John Templeton Foundation. For more on our project, visit:// https://www.pattenlab.com/collective-agents.html.
The position is initially for one year, with an opportunity to renew for a second. The postdoc will be affiliated either with the Department of Philosophy at the University of Kansas or with the Department of Biology at Georgetown University. We welcome applications from individuals who wish to be considered for part-time, remote (within the United States), or other flexible working arrangements.
Position available starting September 1, 2024 (flexible)
Starting salary: $61,000 (US dollars)
Qualifications
Candidates should have obtained a PhD in Economics or Philosophy (or related field). Narrowly, we are looking for the postdoc to have expertise in economic modeling. But more broadly, we seek a postdoc with interests in foundational questions in economic and evolutionary theory and a commitment to interdisciplinary scholarship.
