The PhD project should address the replication crisis and theory crisis in cognitive science from the perspective of philosophy of science. The PhD project should engage with recent philosophy of science and philosophy of confirmation, as well as relevant theoretical, methodological, and empirical studies in psychology. The successful candidate will be working in close cooperation with philosophers as well as cognitive psychologists and neuroscientists associated with the CoInAct Research Group (https://psychology.ku.dk/coinact/) and is expected to partake in the activities of CoInAct on a daily basis.
