Non-US Institutions Marketing Positions to US Scholars Looking to Flee the Country
The continuous news about agencies like the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Science Foundation having their funding cut and their grants being rescinded, the Trump administration’s attacks on academic freedom, plus the high-profile emigration of some US academics, has created a marketing opportunity that non-US institutions of higher education are starting to take advantage of. The message they’re sending is: “hey US academics, if you’re worried about lack of funding and freedom in the Unite States, come work here!” And that message is sometimes directed specifically at philosophers. For example, this is from a recent ad from Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland circulated on PHILOS-L and posted on their website: The Interdisciplinary Centre for Ethics (INCET) at Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland, invites applications from US scholars seeking a postdoctoral position in a stimulating international environment, particularly those considering relocation to Europe due to recent US research funding reductions. Our research interests include (but are not limited to) ethics, bioethics, practical ethics, experimental philosophy, moral psychology, philosophy of science, political philosophy, philosophy of law, and epistemology. Jagiellonian University in Kraków is one of the oldest universities in Europe (established in 1364) and is now one of the best universities in Central Europe. The university offers an engaging academic and cultural life. The city itself is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Central Europe and offers many opportunities for spending leisure time. Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) offer an opportunity to fund applicants’ own research fellowships at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Ethics (INCET). Expressions of interest for the US candidates looking to relocate to Europe due to recent US research funding reductions should be submitted by 31 May 2025 with 1) a CV with the list of publications, and 2) a short research proposal (no more than 1 page). Institutions and individuals are welcome to list other opportunities aimed at providing an academic refuge for US philosophers. (via Tomasz Żuradzki)
