Laura Nuño de la Rosa
Postdoc (Juan de la Cierva-Incorporación Fellowship)
Complutense University of Madrid (Spain)
Graduate in Humanities (Universidad de Alicante), Master in Biophysics (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) and PhD in Philosophy of Biology (Universidad Complutense de Madrid and Institut d’Histoire et de la Philosophie des Sciences et des Techniques, Paris 1-Sorbonne). I have held research contracts at the KLI (Vienna), the UPV-EHU, and the UCM, where I am currently an assistant professor. I combines my research with teaching at undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral levels.
I further joined the KLI Institute (Klosterneuburg, Austria) as a post-doc fellow. Between 2015 and 2018, I held a Juan de la Cierva fellowship at the IAS-Research group, at the University of the Basque Country. In 2018 I joined the Department of Logic and Theoretical Philosophy at the Complutense University of Madrid, first as a UCM postdoc fellow, and since April 2019 as a Juan de la Cierva-Incorporación fellow. My current interests combine research on the recent history of evolutionary biology with the study of epistemological and ontological issues in contemporary biology, as well as the social implications of biosciences, including synthetic biology, theories of reproduction, and the current science of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2019 I received the Julián Marías award for being the best researcher in the Humanities in the Community of Madrid under 40 years of age.
Together with Cristina Villegas and Vanessa Triviño, we publish a weekly educational podcast about the philosophy of science (in Spanish), you can download the episodes in Ivoox.
