I see that, distracted by the PhD census, it’s been some time since I’ve pulled together a regular post. Some of the deadlines are accordingly very soon or even just expired. Will do better next time!

Mario Meliadò, at the University of Siegen (western Germany), is advertising a three-year postdoc aimed at scholars working on “on the philosophy of the late Middle Ages or the Renaissance.” The application deadline is November 24, 2024.

The Lumen Christi Institute, in Chicago, is advertising two 2-3 year postdocs in Catholic studies, defined very broadly but certainly including medieval philosophy. Application review begins on November 20, 2024.

The University of Toronto is, or was, advertising the Walsh Chair in the History of Philosophy. This is a senior position, open to all fields in history of philosophy, but medieval candidates will doubtless get serious attention. I’m sorry to say that the deadline was three days ago, and the application portal seems to have closed. Still, interested candidates might make inquiries at [email protected]. (Or just blame me when UT hires someone not as good as you.)

There’s a four-day winter school in Pisa this February on the topic Prognostication in the Middle Ages: Philosophical Strategies to Deal with Uncertainties, organized by Stefano Perfetti and others (February 5-8, 2025). The application deadline is just a few days from now: November 20, 2024.

The New Narratives in the History of Philosophy project is advertising two one-year post-doctoral positions, tenable at various universities, for scholars studying “women and individuals from other marginalized groups in both the European and non-European traditions.” The application deadline is January 3, 2025.

The cfp deadline is January 10, 2025.

The above-mentioned New Narratives project is holding a workshop in Montreal next June on neglected figures or themes in the history of philosophy (McGill Univ., June 6-8, 2025). The cfp deadline is December 15, 2024.

Next June, Zita Toth (King’s College London) will be co-teaching a one-week summer school on editing medieval philosophical and theological texts (London, June 9-13, 2025). Details here. The “early bird discount” for applications ends on January 4, 2025.

The 2025 SIEPM Colloquium will take place in Argentina next September. The theme of the Colloquium is Chaos and Order in Medieval Philosophy (Buenos Aires, Sept. 3-5, 2025). Proposals welcomed in English and Spanish. The cfp deadline February 15, 2025.

Monika Mansfeld, Monika Michałowska, and Marek Gensler (Łódź) are organizing a conference in Poland next October on Theories of Sense Perception: External and Internal Senses in the Later Middle Ages (Łódź, October 16-17, 2025). The cfp deadline is not yet listed.
