The Steering Committee of the European Philosophy of Science Association (EPSA) seeks applications for the position of Editor-in-Chief of the European Journal for Philosophy of Science (EJPS). The editorship will be assumed on 1 September 2025 (negotiable) and is held for a renewable term of four years.

The European Journal for Philosophy of Science was founded in 2009 and the first issue was published in 2011. The journal currently publishes four issues per year + several topical collections. The Editor-in-Chief (or co-Editors-in-Chief) is responsible for selecting manuscripts for publication, supervising the editorial office, and coordinating the production of the journal with the publisher Springer. The Editor-in-Chief must hold a permanent academic appointment at a European University and have a distinguished research record in philosophy of science.

Applications for the Editor-in-Chief of the European Journal for Philosophy of Science should summarize the applicant’s qualifications for the editorship, present the proposed editorial team (currently the journal has two Editors-in-Chief and ten Associate Editors, but other arrangements are also possible), and describe the likely institutional support, such as teaching relief and administrative assistance. Applications from outside of Europe are welcome, but at least half of the editorial team (i.e. Editors-in-Chief and Associate Editors) should have a position in Europe. If two Editors-in-Chief are proposed, at least one of them should have a permanent appointment at a European university. The application should also include the affiliations and areas of expertise of all members of the proposed editorial team.

Over the years, EJPS has established a commitment to inclusive editing (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13194-024-00616-2). We invite applicants to set out their vision for the journal, outlining how they plan to uphold and further advance EJPS' dedication to inclusive editing.

Please submit applications by e-mail attachment to the secretary of EPSA at epsa@philsci.eu. The deadline for applications is 15 May 2025. Questions concerning the application and the position should be directed to the President the European Philosophy of Science Association, Prof. Stéphanie Ruphy, at stephanie.ruphy@ens.psl.eu. The steering committee of EPSA may conduct interviews, if need be. 

The European Philosophy of Science Association (EPSA) announces 15 EPSA Fellowships to visit a leading research institution in Western Europe. 

The deadline for applications is 31 March 2025 23 April 2025.
