The Zukunftskolleg is a central scientific institution of the University of Konstanz for the promotion of young scientists. We are offering 5 Research Positions (up to Salary Scale 14 TV-L) in the fields of a) foundations of social justice b) mixed feelings for the development and implementation of individual research projects / research groups. The initial appointments will commence on October 1, 2009, and end on March 31, 2011. An extension of the work contract for an additional 3.5 years will be financed by the Zukunftskolleg provided that substantial external funding for a research project has been granted. The project outline should point out topical connections to the research profile of the University of Konstanz. The proposed project must be in one of the following research fields: 1. Foundations of social justice: In neoclassic economic theory, actors exclusively pursue their own individual interests, which raise questions about the foundations of altruism, collective rationality and social justice. From a philosophical and normative perspective, the resulting problems are still unsolved. New empirical impulses are provided by research that deals with the neuro- and socio-psychological foundations of human decisions and actions. 2. Mixed feelings: The interdisciplinary study of emotion, feeling and affect. Science’s view of emotion, feeling and affect has always been ambivalent, although they drive human action and inspire outstanding artistic and humanitarian achievements. Emotions have an individual cerebral basis but communicatory function. The many facets of emotional communication are reflected in society and the media, both of which are products of the human brain, and act back on it to shape it.
