<p>Dear colleagues, I would like to invite suitable candidates to apply for a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of South Africa (Roodepoort, Johannesburg). I am particularly interested in postdocs who are interested in research on Humanities-enriched Information Systems, for example:</p>
<p>* Hermeneutics in IS</p>
<p>* Linguistics in IS</p>
<p>* Arts in IS</p>
<p>* History of IS</p>
<p>* Philosophy in IS</p>
<p>* Law and IS</p>
<p>* Theology and IS</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We would like to dig deeper on various issues, such as:<br>
· How does/can Humanities (linguistics, arts, philosophy, history, law, hermeneutics)
<span style="text-decoration:underline">theories</span> enrich IS?<br>
· How does/can IS theories enrich the Humanities?<br>
· How does the Humanities enrich IS on an applied/practical level?<br>
· How is IS applied to the Humanities on an applied/practical level?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Other topics that we are interested in, are:<br>
· A critical evaluation of the dichotomy between positivism and interpretivism as Information Systems research philosophies from the wider perspective of the philosophy of science</p>
<p>· Exploring the alignment of positivism and interpretivism with empiricism and rationalism in Information Systems theory</p>
<p> </p>
