The posting

The Foundations of Thermodynamics Group is a newly formed group in the School of Humanities at the Nanyang Technological University Singapore led by Nanyang Assistant Professor of Philosophy Eugene Y. S. Chua. Its goal is to provide a space for research on all aspects of the conceptual foundations of thermodynamics, with particular focus on:

  • understanding the conceptual foundations of thermodynamics beyond the classical domain, e.g., in the quantum and relativistic domains,
  • how foundational questions in thermodynamics can inform or relate to other non-fundamental domains such as fluid dynamics and neuroscience,
  • and how issues in the foundations of thermodynamics bear on questions in philosophy such as (but not limited to) questions about emergence, reduction, inter-theory relations, the nature of non-fundamental reality, the laws of nature, the role of idealizations in physical reasoning, issues to do with scientific modelling, and conceptual engineering in physics.

The group is seeking applications for a 2-year Research Fellow position. Successful candidates will carry out research which contributes to the group’s goals, primarily collaborating with Asst. Prof. Chua on ongoing projects while developing their own independent research projects. The ideal candidate will have a PhD in philosophy or physics, a strong research track record, a concrete proposal for a research project related to the Group’s interests, and excellent communication skills.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Collaborating on Asst Prof. Chua’s projects
  • Carrying out their own research projects
  • Planning and organizing events (workshops, conferences, summer schools) for the Group
  • Hosting visiting academics
  • Presenting work related to the group’s goals at relevant conferences and workshops

Job Requirements:

  • PhD in philosophy or physics
  • Demonstrable research track record on topics related to the project, such as but not limited to: General philosophy of science Philosophy of physics (especially philosophy of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics) Demonstrable interest or experience in quantum or relativistic thermodynamics is a plus. Cognate topics in philosophy - Emergence and reduction - Inter-theory relations - Effective realism - Metaphysics of non-fundamental reality - Natural kinds - Conceptual change and conceptual engineering - Symmetries and reality

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
