Assaf Weksler
I'm a researcher in philosophy at BGU, working with Ori Beck (as part of a program of the Planning & Budgeting Committee of the Council of Higher Education to support hiring excellent researchers in the status of ‘researcher’). I work mainly on empirically informed philosophy of perception.
I'm also a faculty member in philosophy at the Open University of Israel, with the rank of 'course coordinator' (a type of job unique to the Open University). I coordinate advanced courses on epistemology, virtue ethics, and mental representations. When it's ready, I will also coordinate an intro level course based on the book "just the arguments".
I previously won an ISF grant to study the iconicity of perception, theoretically and experimentally.
I recently won a DFG grant titled "Naive Realism under Pressure" (with Ori Beck and Eva Schmidt). The project will run from August 2024 till July 2027. I am looking for a post doc, to start on February 2025.
