We also admit applicants from other disciplines, provided their research is directly linked to questions about normativity in those domains.

The postdoctoral fellow will be supervised by a member of the GRIN and, if her/his research falls with the domain of ethics (broadly conceived), s/he will be attached to the Centre for Research on Ethics (CRÉ), whose mission is to contribute to interdisciplinary research in ethics.
