Opis zadań:

The successful candidate will be part of the project team for the NCN Opus grant "BIOlogical Perspectivism and Individualisation (BIOPI). Understanding What a Perspective Is for Organisms, Species, and Ecosystems" and will work on problems related to one or more of the research directions studied within the project. The project aims to understand and develop our comprehension of biological individuality of organisms, species, ecosystems, etc. by emphasizing that
perspectivism should be conceptually expanded. In philosophy of science, perspectivism is conventionally understood as the
epistemological principle that perception of and knowledge of
something is always bound to the interpretive perspectives of those observing it. Usually, however, the application of perspectivism is limited to humans. The project breaks off with this tradition and aims to argue that non-human beings (as different as cells and ecosystems) have their perspectives and this should be taken into account when we develop frameworks for individuating biological entities.

The project is general, so the successful candidate will have the
freedom to work on certain aspects of it. This position is dedicated to a philosopher/biologist with strong conceptual skills as the work will be about critical analysis of certain concepts and developing better conceptual tools for biology. A successful candidate could contribute to one of the following parts of the project:
• Critical analysis of current debates on biological individuality
(from cells to ecosystems).
• Naturalizing perspectivism; understanding how to apply
perspectivism to study things as different as cells, bees, and
ecosystems.
• Analysing how the ideas developed in the project influence
certain biological theories; such as speciation, symbiosis,
major transitions in individuality.
Scope of Duties
• Critical analysis of literature;
• Conceptual analysis and building a conceptual framework;
• Preparation of the manuscript;
• Presentation of results at conferences
