Research Assistant Position: Philosophy of Perception

Research Assistant Position: Philosophy of Perception
Prof. Susanna Siegel, Philosophy/FAS
Fall 2026

Help needed with the bibliographical portion of an encyclopedia entry on the contents of perception. Responsibilities: Tasks involve searching for papers, helping to edit the entry (mostly matching references to bibliography), reading some of the papers cited, and reading the entry once it is complete to give the two co-authors an impression of whether it is helpful for someone new to the topic. Requirements and Expectations: Probably not more than 10-15 hours total, plus at least one in-person or zoom meetings to get set up. Most subsequent communication can take place over email or by phone. Additional Information: Unpaid. No course credit, but these tasks will familiarize you with philosophical work on perception. The two co-authors are Prof Susanna Siegel (Harvard, Philosophy) and Prof Gabriel Greenberg (UCLA, Philosophy). To Apply: Contact Prof. Siegel at ssiegel@fas.harvard.edu. (posted 9/2026)
