Tenure Track position for “Indology” in Milan, Italy

I am sorry for the short notice, but I just found out that there is an opening in Italy, Milan, for a “Researcher of the type B”. This resembles a tenure track position, insofar as after 6 years one becomes Associate professor. The deadline is Monday the 5th of August and the application is relatively easy to prepare (cv, publications, signed declaration of authenticity of what you state in the cv). Here is the link for the text in Italian. I also uploaded here the English summary (scroll down until you find “Indology”). You can apply online, here.

Best of luck!

Philosophy of action

In case you missed it, I would like to recommend a website on philosophy of action which is a great single go-to page for almost anything related to the topic. It offers links, biographies, encyclopedic entries, essays, videos and learning materials on various facets of philosophy of action. It has also a section on job vacancies and one with short interviews with scholars working on philosophy of action. It is learned and enjoyable and the same time, a great achievement.
