---------- Forwarded message --------- The Department of Communication Science of the University of Teramo (Italy) is opening a three-year junior faculty position as "Ricercatore di tipo A" (RTD-A – Assistant Professor) in Logic and Philosophy of Science to work on the project "Argumentation and Foundations of Knowledge in the Digital Context”.
The following is a brief English synthesis of the description of the sought-after profile, concerning both the expected teaching duties and the research activities. This research project aims to “analyse argumentative processes and to investigate philosophical foundations at the basis of information and scientific knowledge, in connection with the actual digital framework and with the development of artificial intelligence”. In line with the particular concerns of the “Piano Nazionale per la Ricerca” for humanistic culture and for democracy and governance issues, it has a focus on the development of logical and argumentation models under uncertainty, with a specific focus on probability models, and on the philosophical analysis of the latest directions in AI, particularly in autonomous systems and big data technologies, with their consequences in terms of knowledge. The successful candidate is expected to have the ability to deal with the probabilistic and computational methods in argumentation and AI and to combine them with the conceptual tools adopted in philosophy of science. The successful candidate should teach some modules in Logic and Philosophy of Science, in the context of both undergraduate and graduate programmes. The modules will be taught at the Department of Communication Science. The teaching duties will also include seminars and integrative activities. The teaching duties will concern in particular topics broadly connected with the logical features of artificial intelligence and with general epistemological issues. The teaching duty will consist of a total of 350 hours/year, including 60 hours of lectures. A major part of the teaching load and of the academic life will be in Italian and for this reason a basic knowledge of Italian is desirable. Scientific supervisor: professor Raffaele Mascella (email: rmasce...@unite.it) The deadline for applications is April 21, 2022. The public discussion of qualifications and scientific production will take place on June 9, 2022. The starting date for the job must be mandatorily fixed on July 1, 2022.
