The following ad for a couple of postdocs at ANU has just gone up on the APA Jobs for Philosophers website (it won't appear in the printed version). A full ad and an online application procedure are on the ANU website, and informal details are on my website.
The Philosophy Program, Research School of Social Sciences, seeks to appoint two or more research-only Postdoctoral/Research Fellows (Level A/B). The fellows will be appointed in association with projects directed by Professors David Chalmers and Jonathan Schaffer. Candidates should hold a Ph.D. in philosophy or a related discipline prior to appointment, and should specialize in metaphysics, epistemology, the philosophy of science, the philosophy of mind and cognitive science, and/or the philosophy of language. Appointment will be for up to three years. The Program will consider proposals to fill the positions by secondment, and particularly welcomes applications from women. Full details, including details on how to apply, are available at http://consc.net/fellows.html. Closing date: December 15, 2008.
Hey, I know this may be off-topic but, I know you argue for dualism and this is a fundamental difference between you and Patricia Churchland, in what other ways do you disagree with her?

Well, like most pairs of philosophers, we disagree about a lot of things and agree about a lot of things. Where consciousness is concerned, a few of our differences are aired in her paper "The Hornswoggle Problem" (as well as "Brainshy" and other papers that aren't online) and my reply in part 2 of "Moving Forward on the Problem of Consciousness".

Hello Dr. Chalmers,
I am currently in the midst of a Ph.D. program in anthropology at Tulane University in New Orleans, USA. I wanted to know if a degree in anthropology (specifically looking at ethnometaphysics and cultural worldviews relating to the use of psychoactive substances [(entheogens]) would make one eligible to apply for a postdoc in the Research School of Social Sciences mentioned above?
