Call for Applications Theme: Ethics of War and Peace Type: PhD Position in Philosophy Institution: Stockholm Centre for the Ethics of War and Peace, Stockholm University Location: Stockholm (Sweden) Date: 2018–2022 Deadline: 16.4.2018 __________________________________________________ This is a four year, fully-funded PhD position attached to the Stockholm Centre for the Ethics of War and Peace, which is funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation and part of the Philosophy Department at Stockholm University. The successful applicant will undertake a PhD in Philosophy in a topic falling within the Centre’s remit of the ethics of war and peace. Some preference will be given to proposals addressing ethical issues surrounding foreign intervention, broadly construed. This includes indirect foreign intervention (such as the ethics of arming rebel groups), ‘soft’ intervention, such as propaganda campaigns, and our obligations in the aftermath of intervention, including obligations to refugees. However, proposals on any aspect of the ethics of war and peace will be considered. This could include (but is not limited to): theoretical approaches to war (such as pacifism, individualism or collectivism), terrorism, civil war, revolution, war crimes, crimes against humanity, issues within jus ad bellum and jus in bello, the moral status of combatants and non-combatants, war and technology, reconstruction and reconciliation, the notion of ‘just peace’, and legitimate authority. We also encourage proposals that look to bring work in other areas of philosophy – such as work on causation, responsibility, rights, duties to rescue, partiality or risk – to bear on the ethics of war.
