Objective "The project is aimed at analyzing the basic historical and psychological roots of the EU civil societies over the past centuries. The analysis will shed light on the epistemological status of psychological knowledge, by reconstructing the influence of Giambattista Vico’s ideas (concepts of verum factum, historical situatedness of higher mental processes and sensus communis), using this study to define the epistemological challenges, and to understand how concepts in psychology are theoretically elaborated, empirically constructed and generalized. Candidate’s career objective is to integrate his scientific profile with theoretical and epistemological innovative competences at Aalborg University (Denmark) to successfully compete for a position of associate professor in psychology in Italy, Denmark, or other EU countries, within 3 years. The candidate will improve theoretical and research skills; acquire the linguistic and writing skills to work in Denmark and to achieve the national professorship habilitation in Italy; improve the candidate’s high quality international publication track, making the candidate’s profile competitive also for other ERA countries; strengthening the candidate’s international network and the interdisciplinary skills; improving his autonomy and management skills and preparing new research funding proposals at national and EU level. The research activity will also include teaching epistemology courses at Aalborg University and thesis supervision. Danish psychology has been influenced by Vico’s ideas. This historically documented sensitivity, combined with the specific interdisciplinary research focus on cultural psychology, makes Aalborg University the ideal location for developing the project. Dept. of Communication & Psychology is developing a long-term research, training and economic effort in its interdisciplinary program on cultural psychology that fits the best the candidate’s training and career development objectives" Fields of science humanitiesphilosophy, ethics and religionphilosophyepistemologysocial sciencespsychologycognitive psychologymental processessocial sciencespolitical sciencespolitical policiescivil society Programme(s) FP7-PEOPLE - Specific programme "People" implementing the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities (2007 to 2013) Topic(s) FP7-PEOPLE-2012-IEF - Marie-Curie Action: "Intra-European fellowships for career development" Call for proposal FP7-PEOPLE-2012-IEF See other projects for this call Funding Scheme MC-IEF - Intra-European Fellowships (IEF) Coordinator AALBORG UNIVERSITET EU contribution € 230 809,80 Address FREDRIK BAJERS VEJ 7K 9220 Aalborg Denmark See on map Region Danmark Nordjylland Nordjylland Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Joan Vuust (Mrs.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data
