Course Description 2019

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, learn to write successful grant proposals and practice giving great talks.

In the fall semester meeting, we will discuss the job dossier and all its parts.

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

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).
