I am advertising two PhD positions in philosophy -- one for a domestic student, one for an international student. Both positions are 1 + 3 years, meaning that the first year is an MRes and the next three years are for the PhD.

‘Deze methode corrigeert op kleine schaal eigenlijk een democratisch tekort (…) Snelheid is de vijand van meningsverandering, dus ik denk dat het goed is dat ze de tijd nemen.’ @jeroenderidder.bsky.social
