The TUM Institute for Advanced Study (TUM-IAS) invites applications for the newly established program TUM-IAS Philsopher in Residence.

The Philosopher in Residence Fellowship is aimed at internationally leading and emerging representatives of the field of philosophy wishing to carry out a joint project with a TUM professor (or several TUM professors, if cooperation in a group is suitable) from the fields of natural sciences, engineering, life sciences including medicine and health sciences, economics or social sciences. Applicants are completely free in their choice of topics. We aim to promote philosophical engagement with the latest research findings and innovative approaches in the above areas.

The Fellowship is scheduled for twelve months – four of those will be spent at TUM. The TUM-IAS Philosopher in Residence will receive an award of €70,000 and €30,000 for research-related costs, travel expenses and housing.
