Opis zadań:

Position: Postdoctoral Fellow
Type of position: Research
Duration: 36 months
Number of positions: 1 (full time)
Disciplines: Philosophy
Location: Jagiellonian University, Kraków, Poland
Start date: July 2025

The Faculty of Philosophy at the Jagiellonian University will hire a postdoctoral researcher to work with prof. Błażej Skrzypulec on the interdisciplinary research project ‘Ontology of Multisensory Unification’ funded by the National Science Centre, Poland.
The aim of the project is to analyze, from the perspective of empirically informed philosophy of perception and with use of ontological notion, the structural aspects of perceptual experiences. The structural aspects of experiences are understood as those which (a) concern elements which are invariant despite changes in presented entities, like the shape of a visual field which remains the same no matter what is seen, and (b) concern principles according to which presented entities are experientially organized, for instance the way perceptual wholes are composed of simpler elements and the rules of perceptual synchronic and diachronic individuation.
In particular, the goal of the project is to analyze the perceptual structures related to various sensory modalities and investigate the ways in which unimodal perceptual structures are combined in multimodal experiences. The questions asked within the project concern the spatiotemporal structures of multimodal experiences (e.g., what is the topological structure of visuo-tactile space), the compositional structures that organize contents of perceptual experiences (e.g., what is the visual or olfactory mereology), and the ways in which perceptual modalities present synchronic and diachronic sameness (e.g., whether vision present entities as enduring while audition present entities as perduring).
