CALL FOR APPLICATION: FINO PhD in Philosophy (www.finophd.eu)
FINO (standing for Filosofia Nord Ovest) is a partnership of four universities in north-western Italy: University of Genoa, University of Pavia, University of Eastern Piedmont, University of Turin.
The Board of Teachers includes over 100 scholars covering a wide range of research areas.
The PhD program offers
- At least 10 positions each year (the number may vary slightly)
- At least 10 three-year scholarships per year (minimum guaranteed number)
The program embraces a broad range of philosophical
perspectives and approaches, providing graduate students with a rich context in
which to engage with different traditions of thought. It also promotes
interdisciplinarity, including at the interface with non-humanistic fields.
The program comprises 4 curricula covering the main areas of philosophical research:
Curriculum 1: Mind, Language and
Cognition
Curriculum 2: Ethics and Politics
Curriculum 3: History of Philosophy and of Science
Curriculum 4: Aesthetics, Phenomenology, Ontology, and
Hermeneutics
Each curriculum offers advanced and specialized research training tailored to students’ interests. Each student enrolls in one curriculum. However, shared seminars are regularly organized, allowing students to engage with different theoretical and methodological approaches.
FINO promotes exchanges across philosophical areas. To this end, interdisciplinary seminars, workshops, and graduate conferences are organized annually by the Board of Teachers
Italian doctoral programs have a standard duration of
three years, at the end of which students must submit their dissertations. The
deadline may be extended by up to 6 months at the discretion of the Steering
Committee.
Students are encouraged to spend at least six months abroad. Mobility programs
and international exchange opportunities are available for both students and
faculty. To facilitate study periods both abroad and within Italy, FINO
maintains partnerships with
other universities.
Courses are offered in English or Italian. When
non-Italian students are present, curricular activities are normally conducted
in English. Proficiency in English is required for participating in most events
and graduate conferences.
