**Vacancy: Research Fellow in Philosophy of Science**:
**(100% for 20 months, fixed term)**:
**About us**:
This opportunity is offered by the Chair for Philosophy and History of Science and Technology at the TUM School of Social Sciences and Technology (SOT).

The Research Fellow will be a member of the PHIL_OS research team for 20 months, starting preferably in January 2025 until August 2026. The Chair for Philosophy and History of Science and Technology, which hosts the PHIL_OS project, comprises an interdisciplinary, public-interest-minded, international and impact-oriented team based at the TUM SOT. We have world-leading expertise in the philosophy, history and social studies of Open Science, data-intensive research and the governance of data and AI. The Chair is located within the Department of Science, Technology and Society, which is dedicated to understanding the larger social, political, ethical and legal dimensions of science and technology. Embedded in TUM’s unique innovation ecosystem, we are committed to enabling a more responsible and sustainable engagement with science and innovation through social science research, teaching and public dialogue - often in collaboration with partners from technical fields. The TUM STS community strives to provide new intellectual and practical resources for dealing with the challenges of highly technologized societies, and to train future leaders with a unique sensibility for the critical interface between science, technology and society. As one of Europe’s largest hubs for STS, we are a lively intellectual community of 70+ researchers from numerous disciplines and fields of specialization. As a department, we deliver 2 Master’s programs and design STS content for the School’s PhD program. We offer regular public lectures and symposia, weekly discussion groups, and visiting researcher programs. We maintain close collaborative ties to other parts of TUM as well as to leading HPS and STS centers in Germany and around the world.

The successful applicant will be responsible for Work Package 2: Epistemic injustice and impact of Open Science on diverse research environments and will collaborate with the PI towards articulating what forms of epistemic injustice may be associated with the implementation of OS, and how OS initiatives can mitigate such effects.

This study will rely on existing scholarship on epistemic injustice, innovation in low-resourced sites, and inequity related to digital transformations and epistemic diversity. It will also connect with ongoing research within the project, including the empirical research undertaken by the team to document aspects of epistemic injustice experienced by project collaborators around the world.

- Interest and ability to engage in organizational tasks supporting the PHIL_OS project, such as developing events to engage project members and associates
- Intellectual curiosity and an open mindset, and the ability and motivation to work both independently and as member of the team
- Organizational skills and excitement to work in a fast-paced, cross-cultural, and interdisciplinary environment Very good English skills, with knowledge of the German language as a plus (but not necessary).

**Tasks**:

- Conduct research for PHIL_OS on research inequity and epistemic injustice, resulting in internationally leading publications
- Participate in weekly project meetings and in conferences and events relating to the project, and present outputs as required
