editDutilh Novaes was born in 1976 in São Paulo, Brazil,[1] the daughter of two academics.

After postdoctoral research at the CUNY Graduate Center in New York, she returned to the Netherlands as a researcher at the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation. She took a position at the University of Groningen in 2011,[2] initially as an assistant professor and Rosalind Franklin Fellow[4] and later as a full professor. She moved to her current position in the Faculty of Humanities, Reasoning and Argumentation at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in 2018.[5] Since 2019, she also visits the Arché philosophical research centre of the University of St Andrews as a professorial fellow.[6][7]
