This workshop is intended for graduate students and postdocs in philosophy who aspire to a professional career in academic philosophy. In this year's workshop, participants will, among other things, reflect on how to present their work in scientific presentations and will learn about funding opportunities for young researchers at the FNS.

Please let me know if you want to participate, so I can include you in the email list for the workshop.

Important: All participants must register on the CUSO website at https://philosophie.cuso.ch/index.php?id=863&tx_displaycontroller[showUid]=4378. The CUSO will reimburse the train tickets (2nd class, half price tickets) for PhD students at the four CUSO universities (Geneva, Lausanne, Neuchâtel, and Fribourg).

Course materials such as lecture notes, handouts, etc will be made available as they will be used in the workshop.

Links to online material:

• From the American Philosophical Association's website: Advice for applying for academic jobs in philosophy (Warning: some of the advice is specific to North America, and some of it is idiosyncratic--as the author admits)

Here is a list of useful books (though somewhat dated):

• Robert L. Peters, Getting What You Came For: The Smart Student's Guide to Earning a Master's or Ph.D., Noonday, revised edition 1997.
• John A. Goldsmith, John Komlos, Penny Schine Gold, The Chicago Guide to Your Academic Career: A Portable Mentor for Scholars from Graduate School through Tenure, University of Chicago Press, 2001.

This is the schedule of topics for the workshop. It is likely subject to adjustment.
