---------- Forwarded message --------- The Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) is one of the leading research universities. The university draws its strengths from both the diversity and the proximity of scientific and engineering disciplines on a single, coherent campus. This highly dynamic setting enables students and researchers to work across traditional boundaries of academic subjects and faculties.
The Institute for Philosophy I at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum invites applications for two PhD research positions in the domain of dialetheism and paraconsistent logics. ==== Duration: 4 years Starting date: 1 October 2019 (latest) Public salary: TV-L 13, 65%. Deadline for the application: 10 March 2019 ==== The candidates (male/female/gender diverse) are supposed to have an MA degree (or equivalent) in philosophy, mathematics or computer science.

The positions are part of a research project “Dialetheism and Paraconsistent Logics: towards a systematic view and full assessment”. The project is funded by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in the context of the Sofja Kovalevskaja Prize.

Research collaborations with other team members and with external members are encouraged.

One of the PhD students (male/female/gender diverse) is expected to work on a project related to paraconsistent logics in general, and will be jointly supervised by Prof. Heinrich Wansing (RUB) and Prof. Hitoshi Omori (RUB). Possible topics may include investigations in discussive logics, infectious logics, connexive logics and other contra-classical logics. The other PhD student (male/female/gender diverse) is expected to work on a project specifically related to dialetheism, and will be jointly supervised by Dr. Zach Weber (Otago) and Prof. Hitoshi Omori (RUB). Possible topics may include investigations in inconsistent theories and inconsistent metatheories. For the application, please submit the following documents in pdf: -a CV -a list of publications and talks if applicable -a 2 page research proposal with bibliography -a writing sample (e.g., a part of the master thesis, an essay, etc.) -contact details of two possible referees (no recommendation letters necessary) Please submit your documents electronically to <hitoshi.om...@rub.de> under the subject line "Application SKP PhD" by 10 March 2019 at the latest.
