They are open to applicants from all countries for or one or two years of research. To be eligible applicants must have normally been awarded their doctoral degree within the five-year period before 31 May 2025 (please see call document for further details).

The School has research strengths in areas including, but not restricted to, Contemporary European (Continental) Philosophy, History of Philosophy, Metaphysics, Philosophy of Mind, Philosophy of Language, Epistemology, Ethics, Social and Political Philosophy, Philosophy of Religion and Cognitive Science. We offer a lively culture of collaborative research activity, with invited speaker seminars, international conferences, and thematic workshops. In recent years, we have been very successful at attracting and hosting IRC and other Postdoctoral Fellowships. Potential applicants are encouraged to approach a faculty member at UCD in their area of research with a request to act as their Academic Mentor for the IRC application. We ask potential applicants to share a copy of their CV and a brief research proposal when they contact faculty members.



The UCD School of Philosophy hosts several research centres and projects, including the Centre for Ethics in Public Life (CEPL), the UCD Newman Centre for the Study of Religions, IRC funded research projects at postgraduate and postdoctoral level, and a project on Insincerity and Fragmented Minds (2020-2025) led by Elmar Unnsteinsson.

Macquarie University (Sydney, Australia) will offer up to 10 full-time Research Fellowship positions commencing in 2025. Fellowships will be awarded on a competitive basis and will be fixed-term for three years. Applicants must have been awarded their PhD on or after 1 March 2021 or submit their thesis on or before 31 December 2023 (or make a convincing case for early career researcher status).

If you have an interest in applying for a Fellowship in the 2025 round through the Department of Philosophy, please send:



Provisional project title and a brief (400-word) project description
Name of potential Sponsor (there is no need to contact them at this stage)

to A/Prof. Robert Sinnerbrink ([email protected]) by Monday, 29 January 2024.



The MQRF Scheme provides an incubation period for early career researchers to allow them to increase their competitive edge in securing research funding from non-University sources. In addition, the Scheme aims to enhance the research capabilities of existing and emerging areas of research strength at Macquarie University. It is therefore important that projects show evidence of good research fit with both the Departmental and Faculty areas of research strength. More information about Research in the Department of Philosophy at Macquarie can be found here:

https://www.mq.edu.au/faculty-of-arts/departments-and-schools/department-of-philosophy/our-research

If the Department is able to sponsor your application, you will be notified by Monday, 5 February 2024.
