I like what you guys tend == Note to be up too. Such clever work and coverage! Keep up the very good works guys I've incorporated you guys Prospective Graduate Students ==The purpose of this wiki is to my personal blogrollaid your search for philosophy of biology graduate programs that suit your tastes. edabadaggekgdgddIt does so by:
Hello!* Listing as many philosophy of biology graduate programs as possible.* Making research into those programs more efficient and convenient by identifying the relevant philosophy of biology faculty and providing easy access to their bios, research interests, CVs, partial publication lists, etc.
HelloHowever, while this site may be where your research into programs starts, it decidedly should not be where it ends. You need to dig around and do your due diligence—e.g., contact people within the programs<ref>This site is not in the business of giving prospective students advice—on how to select programs or anything else—but it can be very helpful and illuminating to contact graduate students currently enrolled in departments you are considering and asking if they would be willing to share their impressions of and experience in the programs. The worst that can happen is that they say 'no'. Of course, what they share must be taken with a grain of salt since everyone's experiences differ, and disgruntled students will paint a radically different picture than contented ones. For that reason, seeking out multiple sources can be worthwhile.</ref>—in order to put yourself in the best possible position to make an informed decision about where to apply. Good luck! == Standards, Practices, and Guidelines == # The criterion for program inclusion is just that a philosophy (or HPS) program have at least one full-time faculty member who self-identifies as a philosopher of biology.# The standard of evidence required to make the list is an official (or personal) university-affiliated website—or a publicly-accessible CV—that lists philosophy of biology as a primary research interest.# Philosophers who have made contributions to the philosophy of biology but who do not list phil bio as an AOS/AOC are usually not listed.# Affiliated, part-time, and emeritus faculty who work closely with graduate students should be labeled as such inside parentheses next to their names. # Bioethics, environmental ethics, philosophy of neuroscience/cognitive science, philosophy of medicine, and history of biology—in and of themselves—are not counted as philosophy of biology. A [[Longer Version|longer version]] of these guidelines is available. == Ph.D. Programs (Australasia) == All programs reside in philosophy departments, unless otherwise specified. === Australian National University ===[http://philrsss.anu.edu.au/ Department Website] [[Australian National University|| Additional Program Information]] <nowiki>[</nowiki>yes<nowiki>]</nowiki> * '''Kim Sterelny''' | [https://researchers.anu.edu.au/researchers/sterelny-k Website] | [http://philpapers.org/s/kim%20sterelny PhilPapers]** Specialties: Philosophy of Biology, Evolution, Philosophy of Psychology and Philosophy of Mind, Palaeoecology (via website)** Ph.D. 1977 University of Sydney :: - Thesis: [http://www.worldcat.org/title/problems-in-syntactic-theory-a-study-in-semantics-and-variation-theory/oclc/220775495&referer=brief_results Problems in syntactic theory: a study in semantics and variation theory]:: - Advisor: Bill Bonney<ref>Source: [https://philosophyfamilytree.wikispaces.com/Kim+Sterelny philosophyfamilytree.wikispaces.com].</ref> ---- === Macquarie University ===[http://phil.mq.edu.au Department Website] * '''Rachael Brown''' | [http://rachaelbrown.net Website] | [http://philpapers.org/profile/25396 PhilPapers]** Specialties: The evolution of cognition and behaviour; the relationship between evolutionary developmental biology and the Neo-Darwinian Synthesis; model-based reasoning in biology and philosophy; and methodological issues in the study of animal behaviour and cognition (via website)** Ph.D. 2013 Australian National University:: - Thesis: Understanding Behavioural Innovation, Novelty and Evolvability:: - Advisor: Kim Sterelny * '''Karola Stotz''' | [http://paul.representinggenes.org/Stotz/ Website] | [http://philpapers.org/profile/74332 PhilPapers]** Specialties: Evolutionary, developmental and molecular biology, psychobiology and cognition (via website)** Ph.D. 1999 University of Ghent :: - Advisor: Gertrudis Van de Vijver ---- === University of Otago (New Zealand) ===[http://www.otago.ac.nz/philosophy/ Department Website] * '''James Maclaurin''' | [http://www.otago.ac.nz/philosophy/Staff/james_maclaurin.html Website], [http://philpapers.org/profile/2066 PhilPapers]** Specialties: Philosophy of Biology, including innateness, fitness, theoretical morphology, biological diversity and universal darwinism (via website)** Ph.D. 1998 Australian National University:: - Thesis: [http://www.worldcat.org/title/metaphysics-of-biodiversity/oclc/223026435&referer=brief_results The Metaphysics of Biodiversity]:: - Advisor: Kim Sterelny<ref>Source: [https://philosophyfamilytree.wikispaces.com/Kim+Sterelny philosophyfamilytree.wikispaces.com].</ref> ---- === University of Sydney ===[http://sydney.edu.au/arts/philosophy/ Department Website] * '''David Braddon-Mitchell''' | [http://sydney.edu.au/arts/philosophy/staff/profiles/dbm.braddon-mitchell.php Website] | [http://philpapers.org/profile/8599 PhilPapers]** Specialties: Philosophy of Mind and metaphysics, and cross borders into philosophy of science, philosophy of biology, ethics and political philosophy from time to time (via website)** Ph.D. 1988 Australian National University:: - Thesis: [http://www.worldcat.org/title/explanation-a-causally-constrained-pragmatic-account/oclc/56637961&referer=brief_results Explanation: A Causally Constrained Pragmatic Account]:: - Advisors: J.J.C.
