2 year postdoc in “Temporal experience and social cognition”

Deadline: 26/08/2024

Experimental philosophy has recently investigated certain claims that philosophers of time attribute to “ordinary people” with respect both to the experience of the flow of time, and to “time in the external world”. While there is ongoing debate about how to interpret the empirical results obtained so far, there is also a clear consensus that the idea of resorting to empirical means to investigate naïve beliefs about temporal phenomenology and temporal reality has proven to be highly fruitful. Moreover, default beliefs about temporal reality, and about how we experience and conceptualize it, are also relevant to research on social cognition. Surprisingly, these implications have yet to be systematically explored. The current project will address this gap in the literature by recruiting a post-doc who will work on elaborating experiments of Ex-phi at the interface between temporal cognition and social cognition.

The post-doc is expected to have competences one or more of the following areas: Traditional X-phi; Philosophy of time; Philosophy of cognitive sciences; Social cognition; Experimental psychology

The post-doc will work on one or more of the following topics: naïve theories of time; temporal duration estimation and experience of passage; psychological mechanisms underpinning temporal experience; the interface between temporal cognition and social understanding

We will favor candidates who can show evidence of having skills in: designing behavioral studies; programming in psychopy; design of vignettes and questionnaires; data collection; statistical analysis in R
